Is this possible without using layers? IOW, it there some kind
of command that allows:

\somecommand[some setups]{content}

where the setups specify where the content should be
positioned, and towards where it should extend? (e.g.,
positioned in the top right corner, extending to the bottom
left)

This can be achieved via layers, but is it possible without?
