Kind of kludgy, but feasible. I've tried this: a command2 button with this in .click:

thisform.chglabel(thisform, "controls")

and this is the chglabel method

Lpara oRef, propname
with thisform.label1
    .caption=eval("oref."+propname+"[1].name")

When I click on command button, the label's caption changes into "command1". Maybe we could do

Local array something_la
=acopy(&("oref."+propname), something_la)
....work with something_la
=acopy(something_la, &("oref."+propname))

....but then it means copying arrays (and I haven't tried that, might be no good at all), and we wanted referrence, right?
