Why cannot create GDL Label for Zone?

Hi all,
Can you show me why cannot create GDL Label for Zone element?
Or if it can be, please show me how to create it because I need to create some label to display some type of Zone information!

Thank you.

You can not label zones (unless I am mistaken).
You can create a 'zone stamp' object however (make sure the object sub-type is set to 'zone stamp').

I know you can get the zone name from other objects placed within the zone and use that in a label, but I have not tried to get other zone information that way if it is at all possible.

This is quite frustrating, actually. I've had to script a new zone stamp that reacts to Model View settings and also allows different positions depending on the situation (a moving hotspot for each case).

But i bet there's already some sort of development towards this area.

There were a couple questions regarding zones in sections during the online AC24 Release event.
