I align a text object as

local MyText=text {ttf "timrom.ttf", "Some text",1,0 }

object { MyText
   translate -(min_extent(MyText) + max_extent(MyText)) / 2
}

`Center_Trans` in transforms.inc is also based on the same approach.

I wonder if there is a way to do so without defining the directive of `MyText`.

I mean something like `min_extent()` of the current object.
