--create an empty label
local myLabel = guiCreateLabel  ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true )

function addLabelOnClick ( button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY, worldX, worldY, worldZ, clickedElement )
  --if an element was clicked on screen
  if ( clickedElement ) then
    --retreive the element type
    local elementType = getElementType ( clickedElement )
    --change the label text to that element type
    guiSetText ( myLabel, elementType )
    --and place it in the position of where the element is
    guiSetPosition ( myLabel, absoluteX, absoluteY, false )
    --hide the text by passing an empty string 5 seconds later
    setTimer ( guiSetText, 5000, 1, myLabel, "" )
  end
