I might be wrong, but AFAIK only Library Objects have the ability to "sense" in which Zone they are in. This is possible through GDL.
A Slab does not have such methods of doing the same.

you should seriously consider using archiforma to create these counters. Its much less tedious and the Archiforma objects can be editied with graphical hotspots very easily. I assume the would schedule out the same you objects do unless you're using additional "subtype" parameters for storing material/finish info etc.

I routinely make similar schedules for my residential projects. To get around the problem, I add a letter to the item name in the ID box to denote which room or type of room a slab is in
K Counter
K Backsplash
B1 Counter
etc. for Kitchen, Bath 1, L for Laundry etc.
Not ideal, but good enough for my purposes.

Due to the complexity of my drawings its critical that I don't do things like you suggest because when I make changes, it makes hunting for these areas that need to be corrected a herculian task.
