The code Igor posted allocated memory for the label using MemPtrNew().
That memory stays allocated until freed by MemPtrFree(); it makes no
difference whether you store a copy of the pointer in a static
variable. (If the variable weren't static, the only thing that would
go out of scope is the pointer variable itself, not the memory it
points to.)
