Applying a 'label' to a particular version of a document

I would like to have a way to "label" a specific version of a document inside the Share interface to:
- mark a special status (like "Approved", "Sent to client", "RELEASE_2.0", etc)
- allow searching by that "label" so we can find the correct version later.

This forum question http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/general/non-technical-alfresco-discussion/document-version-labeling... asked about document Tags for this purpose. I also think the "Classifiable" aspect + Category of a document also applies to all versions rather than just one version.

Does Alfresco Share have this capability? Or is there a different "end-user" interface to achieve this? Software source code control systems all have this feature (I come from this background).

FYI, my company is running Alfresco Enterprise 4.1.3 (97) schema 5118.

Thanks
Tom.

As an alternate to labeling, would the following work?
- at the completion of a workflow (an approval workflow for instance), trigger a rule to run.
- the rule would copy that document version to an "Approved" folder, and rename the file with a version specific suffix to identify it.
- this folder could be set up as read-only to everyone (except the manager) so that no changes could be made to those versions.
