Hoi, When data is to be shown in the context of history, the appropriate label is to be shown, is to be found. It is as complex as what we do with statements.
The point is very much that when you state that when labels are not intended to convey "complex" information, the intention is debatable. It is arguably wrong. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, So how do I indicate that up to a particular date Jakarta was called

Muhammed Ali was called Cassius Clay ? There is no discussion about it.

there is an (potentially perceived) inability to use appropriate labels
at will.
Create a property for "official name" and make staements. Labels are there for display and search. They are not intended to convey complex information.
