Everything is possible, but any non-standard approach will take time a little bit, e.g. now you should create custom collection Form.Mycontrols and fill it e.g. in Form.Init event:
Dimension This.Mycontrols(3)
This.Mycontrols[1]=this.label1
This.Mycontrols[2]=this.label2
This.Mycontrols[3]=this.label3
Now it's up to you to use this collection members to references your labels in code. Before you will start to do this, look at SetAll method. It might be enough for your purposes.
