<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One option could be to use a text symbol with data defined text instead of a label. The geometry for the text could be generated from the geometry generator in the style.
Works different but could work in certain cases. In that case I suppose the text would be associated to the layer order and not the labels on top of the map.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
