Hello, all, and thank you for all you do for the QGIS community.

I am posting a question from a colleague in Sweden. Sorry, don’t have more 
details than this. Perhaps someone has an answer?

Thanks,

Scott Madry

In the old 3.x version of Esri ArcView there was an easy-to-use labeling tool. 
By activating it I could first set up which attribute table column to use for 
labels, and then just click on desired objects in the map, and a label would 
appear on them, and them only. In the later ArcMap this feature was removed, 
and I have not found anything similar in Qgis either.

When labeling features in a map every object gets a label via the layers 
properties, and I must remove all unwanted ones manually, which can be a huge 
job, not to mention tedious... It had been very easy to instead just mark the 
ones I want labeled, as in ArcView 3.x. Of course I am not sure if it's me who 
simply has not found that function in Qgis, but colleagues of mine have not 
found it either, so... is there such a function? ;-)

Thanks, Stefan N.
