Dear Andreas, thank you for your hint, i just need to get used to a different environment. i didn't mean to make comparisons between arcgis and qgis, i know what are the differences between an open source project and a commercial software and i'm sorry if it sounded "bad", but really, the arcgis thing was only for better explaining what i meant and i hoped someone answered "yes, qgis has that function, just download this plugin / click on that small icon". anyway, the categorization function in the symbology section is almost identical to arcgis, that's why i expected something similar also in the labelling section! that said, do you have a link for your attachments? i cant see them as i'm reading in digest mode
