This can be done because Labels can be scripted to obtain the Surface assigned to Walls.
There is actually an example of this in a webinar video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV7c24vsOPM
At 32:50 he is opening and Elevation in which Surfaces of walls are displayed in a custom Label they created. At around 33:12 he specifically mentions that the Label is calling the surface of the element.

JAY TUX:
The Requests for the Surfaces are:
Request ("Name_of_material", WALL_MAT_A, Ref_Mat_Name)
Request ("Name_of_material", WALL_MAT_B, Other_Mat_Name)
Request ("Name_of_material", WALL_MAT_Edge, Edge_Mat_Name)
These return the 3 Surfaces of the Wall, which can then be used to script the Surface name as part of the Label. The 3 variables (Ref_Mat_Name, Other_Mat_Name, Edge_Mat_Name) can be any allowed variable name.
You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Gents,
I will get my GDL guru to give you some advice. A work around in ArchiCAD 18 would be to use IFC Mapping and the Generic Label listing the IFC Parameter. This way you don't need to know any GDL at all. I am in the middle of writing a new post on my blog about IFC Mapping that I plan to load up early next week along with a couple of YouTube videos to demonstrate how you can do it.
Good luck playing with it.
Regards
Nathan
