Hello, all, and thank you for all you do for the QGIS community.
<div class=""><br class="">

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

<div class="">Thanks,</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">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? ;-)<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
