Ballooning promoted bodies after a unite

Is there a way to balloon components that have been promoted and united in an assembly? I have a part that is only showing the item number for the base component and not the other individual components. A previous thread did raise this question, but it was never answered.

I believe I have to remove the unite, but I would like to verify that.

Thank you.

Don't we have a contradiction here? By definition, balooning is the means to identify separate components. If we have united all components into one single body, there's nothing more to identify separately.

 
You need to assign a callout attribute to the solid body itself. Then if you need to use select (Edit levels) in your parts list switch your selection filter to solid bodies and select the solid bodies to be added to the parts lits. The balooning done at the solid body level is not to precise.
