Captions and Multiple Intersecting Links Question

I'm trying to generate captions using Folder Name Meta Data for over 1200 photos and works great but the question is, I want a name bar graphic on top of the photo and the caption to be in (on top of) the name bar graphic without getting the <Multiple Link Intersecting > message. Is this possible? If so any steps to accomplish it? See images for more context. Thx!

@peter_soutullo_3113 I understand what you want to do but that's going to be tricky. AFAIK, static or live caption generation doesn't provide many options in terms of placement. There may be a way to "cheat" it by using threaded text boxes, non-printing or separate layers, or perhaps your caption Paragraph Style can achieve a look close to what you want. Is the "name bar graphic" placed as a separate object? Or is the bar graphic embedded into the image? Maybe there is a script writer here who has more experience with this. Would be interesting to see how this might work out.

Hey Jain, thanks for the reply. The name bar image is a placed, not embedded. I've tried a few work arounds but with no luck. I'm open to any ideas. I'll keep trying to find a solution in the mean time!
