[SalesForce] Is it possible to use dynamic label for

So what I need is to display some checkboxes with dynamic labels for some component attributes in the app builder(when you add a component to a flexipage you can configure some attributes).

First I wanted to add a multi-select picklist but looks like it is not available for <design:attribute> so now trying with checkboxes. But I need each checkbox label to correspond to some custom field label which may change and it looks that you can't use component variables or custom labels in the design. I've tried

{!$Label.c.labelName}

{!v.variableName}

But it does not work.

Is there a way to populate design attribute label dynamically or bind to some other thing like custom label?

Presently, it is not possible to specify custom labels as components' design attribute defaults if that's the ask. This is on the roadmap but not yet prioritized. As a first cut, we're looking to ship support for specifying custom labels (also used for label localization) in the Lightning App Builder in Winter'21 (Safe Harbor).

I just have received this reply from premier+ support. Bottom line: it's not possible for now. No ETA and no infos about the roadmap yet.

Hi, Thanks for your time over the call. As discussed,

I have checked with Senior support Engineers and internal teams and as per our confirmation : All text fields must specify the label attribute to provide a textual label of the field.

Currently, these attributes are not completely exposed.

I have put forward your concerns regarding giving developers more leverage and exposures to develop more efficiently.

They also suggested that we put this in Ideas Exchange since this might be vital for other organizations in the future. Here again is the link:

      $A.get("$Label.c.MyLabel2"),
      $A.get("$Label.c.MyLabel3"),
      $A.get("$Label.c.MyLabel4"),
        /* ... */

    component.set('v.values', values);
 }
})

// Give columns to subcomponent

<c:radioGroup label="Question" values="{! v.values }" />
