AFIAK the only way is to do this is to encode data so that it looks like bitcoin receive addresses. This will burn BTC in the process.
This transaction is embedding a message inside of a non-standard output script, which shouldn't be possible.
There is all sort of graffiti and other garbage embedded in the blockchain.
