You could convert to .pdb (or any other supported format) as an interim
step ... until to mol2 reader implemented in Jmol.

To be clear, Jmol does not consider a .pdb file to be *better* than any
other file type. It is just another format.

The core Jmol engine is purposely divorced from any particular file format
and (at some level) supports a superset of capabilities of the individual
file formats.

Jmol already supports both formal charges and partial charges.

Some file formats support one ... other file formats support the other.
CML, for example, supports both.

I do not know what you mean by 'three other labels'
