Note based lyrics have never been attached to an actual note. They are an 'event' which generally coincides with a note but it not necessary. Using the event editor you can move, edit, insert a lyric event. It is also the only way I know to delete a lyric element if the note is deleted.

I use it often, especially at the end of a staff when lyrics are crowded in the last bar. You can move the position of the lyrics to the left, or put multiple syllables on one 'note'. I have also used a lyric event to add text or instructions.
