This doesn't entirely solve the problem but lcstackBrowser's controls palette allows you to create multiple objects in one drag/drop operation.
In this case, you would option-click the label control, option-click the field control, then drag either one of them to your card. You get a prompt for how many rows/columns of the label/field pairs you want to create and can also specify spacing. I think what's really needed though is something that works like the label/showName properties of a group, plus a way to position the label left/right/below/above the control. That would elminate the need for a separate control. It would also be great if the label could have its own set of text properties so you could, for example, change the label text color to indicate a validation error.
