Yes.  The open-source code & sponsor-only 1.x beta builds have a new
"pseudoatom" command that makes this particularly convenient.

pseudoatom my_lab, pos=[3.0,4.0,5.0], label=Custom Label Text

You can even drag the label around with the mouse (ctrl-left-click & drag).

No need -- simply:

as label, object-name

to hide any atomic representation.
