Hello,

and now I want it only for one label for a specific label.

You can create a custom label that extend the Label.

   public class MyLabel : Label  
   {  
     
     
   }  

Then use this MyLabel in your xaml layout. and you need local namespace like following code.

   <ContentPage   
     
     
   x:Class="MauiFullScreenDemo.MainPage"    
     
   //you need add the local name space                   
   xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MauiFullScreenDemo" >  
     
     
   <local:MyLabel Text="this is a text"></local:MyLabel>  

In the end, you can set the handler when the label is MyLabel.

   Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.LabelHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("MyCustomization", (handler, view) =>  
           {  
               if (view is MyLabel)  
               {  
     
   #if ANDROID  
              handler.PlatformView.SetTextIsSelectable(true);  
     
   #endif  
               }  
          });
