Steve: You can certainly assign names to text and picture boxes and then create new text boxes to display those names. You can suppress output of those boxes and even lock them, though that won't prevent a determined user from deleting them.
But if the purpose of the label is so that users can supply box names to a script, why not eliminate the human factor and simply write the script so that it extracts the name of the selected box and then does the right thing to it? Or display a list of the boxes available in the template?
