Complete control over appearance of marker labels

I want to have complete control over the appearance of marker labels in scatter plots. 
The current appearance of marker labels is primitive and inflexible. 

I would like to be able to 

- Control the border width, border style, and border color of marker labels. 
- Control the padding of marker labels.
- Select option to remove the border and only show the text of marker labels. 

I used scatter plot as example, but this feature should be applicable to other visualizations such as bar charts and line charts.

    Also add the following:

    -allow transparent background/border on marker label

    -allow multiple labels positioned around the Marker (Above, Below, Left, Right) with customized color schemes

    -applicable to Map Charts too.

Better custom lables

Why only label 1 thing, why cant we label two things. How come it is so hard to change the formatting on labels? Why can we just label the highest/lowest numbers? In all honest, how come Tableau has so much better labeling?
