[NTG-context] Achieving the effect of \overset outside math mode

Dear list, I don't have a MWE per se, but as the title suggests, I want to be able to achieve the effect of \overset outside math mode. As I understand, \overset itself is implemented using \mathop and \limits. Currently to achieve this I have defined some macros using \offset thus : \define[1]\pabv{\dontleavehmode\offset[width=0em,y=-16pt,x=3pt]{#1}} Unfortunately, I have to hard code the x values. So I have define several such macros with different offsets. Not an elegant solution, but it is what I could muster. So, my objective is to place a smaller piece of text above another larger piece of text so that the text above is centered w.r.t the text below. Please advise. Thanks, kauśika
