How to make Library object that only shows if certain criteria is in project

I am trying to find a way to have a graphical representation on a layout when we are making pdf for controll and signing of especially working drawings. I am thinking of making a library object that shows a certain graphical stamp when for example a line in Project info says "kontrollkopi" The purpose is that this line is deleted from project info - the gsm object will be blank.

We could of course used the pdf- software to make the stamp - but it will deman training of employees, so the easiest solution would be to have it in archicad.

On Page 613 of the GDL Reference Guide (AC21), it talks about Project Info Autotexts.
I think you can script a line of code in the GDL Object where it compares the value of one of those Project Info Autotexts to a specific text and generates the contents of the GDL Object based on the result of the comparison.
