Hi @转角遇见你 -You're correct that in Power BI Desktop, text boxes are not natively designed to reference measures or metrics directly.
you can add a Card visual to your report or multi card visual report
Power BI Desktop do not directly support referencing metrics, using visuals like Cards, Multi-row Cards, or custom tooltips can achieve similar functionality.

Hope it helps.
