Dynamic Data Elements Coordinate Transformations

I would like to be able to use Dynamic Data Elements to convert Easting and Northing coordinates into a corresponding Geographical projection.

When labelling a line or a point, I use Dynamic Elements within the text field to display lengths in both meters and feet, so when the line changes, the text label changes with it.

I would like to do this with Projected and Geographical coordinates as well.

Example:
I have a projected set of XY coordinates in a UTM zone and would like them displayed in a chosen Geographical projection as well while maintaining their association to the feature. eg. 356 1257 mE, 7 563 342 mN > 115° 30' 52.2" E, 19° 14' 32.5" S.
