Maybe something like the nFeed plugin is what you're looking for.

It can populate fields based on a variety of data sources, including other issue fields.

That's pretty much the definition of a "labels" field.

Not really clear how I can use the label in my case

I'm sorry, I misread the question.

One of the database value fields is the best answer here - they can be pointed at the content of another field within the Jira database.

Be warned though, if you point one at a free-text field, you will need to keep a close watch on the usage. If users add too many data items, it will rapidly become unwieldy and useless.
