Is there a simple way to display the mass of a part and/or assembly in a drawing so that it remains a live link to the part studio or assembly?

Being a pro user, it is within your grasp. Free users will need to store the result in an existing property, like title1 or something
Here's my implementation, although it is combined with part numbering and colors, but you should be able to delete most of that out.

Be wary, if you ever modify the material of the part with Onshape's built in function, then that will override any featurescript and you will get a blank result in your property. The only way to fix it, is to force a change to the internal ID of the part. Usually by delete/recreate a feature on the tree that has created the part.
