Well, the only way I can imagine it is by sendind it to teh far side...
You can do it by pressing the TAB key and inserting it, or by sending it
with a command that I dont remeber (because I never used it...)
Note that the silkscreen goes to the far side too.

You can do it without moving outside the componente, but you must hit it
with certain precision, because you will rotate the entire component...
