Free (movable) items on Master Slides

Hello,
I'd like some items on Master Slide to be freely movable by users, a bit like placeholders do.
I've gome some picture icons that sometimes need to be moved up or down according to the amount of text on their side.
I fear it's impossible with pictures.
But, if you look at the sample Story file provided by Emily here (Pop_Up_Update.story):
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/pop-up-with-feedback-master-problem-with-hide-this-layer
the button in the Feedback layout is freely moveable when layout is applied and I have NO IDEA how it's been done!
Thanks.

Hi Christie,
Here's the file. I would like to have some items freely movable once Master is applied to slide.
Hi, Pierre -- Thanks for sharing your file, and I'll be in touch as soon as possible with my findings. Your patience is appreciated!
Hi, Pierre -- Many thanks for your patience, and unfortunately, I have not had much luck making headway either, so I would like to set you up in a case so that our Support Engineers are able to share their technical insights, as well. I will create the case in just a moment and you will be receiving an email confirmation message shortly. :)
Just received the email, thanks!
Certainly, Pierre, and I will be sure to follow along with their progress in order to share relevant updates here for others who may be following along. :)
Here's the workaround I came up with (thanks to Victor from the support team for his help) :
Just use text placeholders and put your icon as background pictures. Resize text box to the exact size of the picture and when you apply your master you can freely move those icons on screen if you wish.
