It Looks like you want to design your own form engine.Alfresco share has one form engine, but with that you will be able to set label values using properties file and not dynamically

Its possible in alfresco , but there will be lot of things which you need to consider.If its fully fresh application and there is not much use of alfresco share than you can design application using ADF.

To start up for designing this stuff..You need to consider below things.

You need to design UI, from where forms can be created.
Write code in repository to save the form designs(it can be done using alfresco repository webscript)
In ADF/Share write logic to display the forms which you have configured.

Existing share form engine is using form.get.js,form.get.html.ftl etc files...You can check those.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. We're using Alfresco as a generic content storage to store images, text content, and data / input labels. And data label just happens to be one of many custom content type. The application itself is built on ReactJS because that's our enterprise standard. Hope that clarified my question. Thank you
