Sure you can, also in higher (or lower) Mendix versions. You have to modify your styling to do this. In StudioPro wrap an image in a container, add a text-element in that container too and give the container a classname. Then go and modify your scss (custom- or main, whichever your prefer), adding
position:absolute,
top:9px,
left:50px or so until it looks the way you like it.
