Drive IfcAnnotation attributes with assigned product attributes
Could we develop something like the following, or would this be considered unholy in the eyes IFC?
Looking for it to read like this...

Do I understand it the right way ... You would like to make a IfcAnnotation and the text of the Annotation is a value of a Attribute of the box under the annotation ...
we do make this very often, not in Bonsai but in our CAD ... On soil nailing walls (https://www.chinasteel-group.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Soil-nailing-wall.png) we have hundreds of nails. Every nail has a number as attriubte. This number will be printed as 3D-Text beside the nail head in the modell. The text is generated by python. Eventually the text and the nail are not related at all in IFC. Just the mind of the one who views the modell knows the text belongs to the nail.
If IFC would support to add some 3D-Text and the text is some attribute value of a referenced object ... wow ... This is what you would like to do and what we would need ...
another real world example ... both are from BIM2Field projects. For the building site people it is much simpler to see the object numbers than need to click any time on the object to get the number.
