Can I script a custom label pointer?

Hi,
Is it possible to script a label pointer? The attachment shows a label I'd like to have as a real label. We cheat right now with manual 2D...
Maybe it's not a pointer I'm after!? I looked in the gdl cookbook but this is another thing.

Of course it is possible - plain 2d script - but the parameters of pen/line and so on can be read from the label pointer settings. In the label there is a switch on a custom pointer and switch off the "default"
similar thing is described here regarding custom frame:

BTW - plain old normal opening marker can be changed to a label and function as one 😜 (just change a subtype)

Best Regards,
Piotr
