Well, design your label into Draw app.
Export as picture
Insert into Writer app on your document in background.

Anyway, you can't use none picture as field

So, I think that your problem will be unsolvable.

Created attachment 85981
  --> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=85981=edit
What I am needing

Attached I have two screens. On the left I have a Writer Document with a
DataSource I am using for envelopes. 

I am wanting to be able to do the same thing with our company ID cards in Open
Office Draw on the right. 
FName
LName
Employee#
Department 
Date of hire 

So instead of saying database maybe DataSource would be better. Either way the
picture on the left is what I want on the picture on the right.

I hope this clears it up a little.

Any help is appreciated

For me, Draw app must be stay a drawing app.
Writer is dedicated with database interface.
If you want objects from Draw, you could use OLE function or simply a
copy/paste.

Do not use a hammer to screw :-)

I think he doesn't mean controls rather database fields:
Insert → Fields → Other…: (Tab) Database
(mail merge/reports/lists/labels)

Draw has more possibilities for design so I can imagine that for labels,
reservations … the use of database fields that can be formatted like “normal”
text could be a good enhancement.

Maybe the OP has other suggestions fur use.

What do you do with database fields in ODG document?
Could you give us a real example and attach a screenshot of expected result?

You can already add database fields to Draw- and Impress-documents. Open the
"Form Controls" and "Form Design" toolbars to insert fields and to define the
connection.

I guess, that you do not mean a "database" but that you mean meta information.
That request does already exists. It is bug 2882.
