CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Origin Point And Measuring Objects

I want to be able to measure objects from their top left position in relation to the x - y position.  It appears that I can measure from the centre of objects but that makes the x-y co-ordinates something other than 0.

I can also measure objects from an x-y of 0 but then the object co-ordinates are x0-y0 regardless of where it is on the page.

In Illustrator you can elect to measure from top left to bottom right of an object including the middle nodes in relation to the x-y (wherever you set it), I am sure this must be possible but how.
