I'm not sure, but my guess would be: insert the text and the select it and do:
Modify->Explode
As you told, "... the laser follows a red line drawn..." this would make sense for me. So the laser can follow the lines created from the text (blue lines).
maybe you can make some sample text and ask them or someone else who have done such a thing can tell you??
