How to change "view angle" for text the same way as for rasterized layers?

Hi, I would like to know, how to change "view angle" (I do not know how to call this) of text.  

 

For rasterized layer, e.g. rectangle, I can change it by clicking Ctrl+T, and by clicking top right and bottom right corner points with Ctrl, I can create something like this:

I would like to do the same for text. However, when I click top right corner point with Ctrl, and move it desired way, it moves the bottom right point the same way as the top one. Result can be seen here:

Can somebody advise how to do that? I know it is possible by rasterizing the type, but I have to preserve the type for future alterations. Thank you.

Convert the Type Layer to a Smart Object before Transforming.

Is it possible to convert it back after transforming? After transforming, I need to use text replacement via Datasets.

The Smart Object can be opened, the Type Layer in the SO edited and the SO saved, then the SO will update in the containing document. 

How you integrate that in your workflow is up to you.
