It would be nice to have an option in the Create Footprint dialog to specify the Text Block for silk, and assembly ref designators.

OrCAD PCB/Allegro is already a crowded, complicated translator, and usually spawns the most technical support. I would suggest the best way to handle this is to make a post-process script that simply adjusts the text blocks to your liking. You can also add any other tweaks so that you can filter the parts to your specific standards.
