You can attach named paths to objects and then labels these. Here is my first try, seems to work: \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \startreusableMPgraphic{labeltest} newCircle.a(btex A etex); newCircle.b(btex B etex); a.c=origin; b.c=a.c+(1cm,2cm); ncline.b(a)(b) "name(ab)"; ObjLabel.b(btex $a\rightarrow b$ etex) "labpathname(ab)", "labangle(0)"; drawObj(a,b); \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{labeltest} \stoptext For more options for labels, see page 54ff of the metaobj manual.
