The only way you can really do this is to make a custom extension of Canvas. Or, if you prefer overriding and nullifying functionality to writing your own, you could extend StyledText. If you just want to display flat text, you can use a Text widget with an SWT.WRAP | SWT.BORDER | SWT.MULTI style. It all depends on what you actually need.

You can also wrap Swing's JTextPane and create SWT widget...
Not beautiful solution, but works...
