Linking Text / Live Text

Is it possible to use linked text?

For example on my Ground Floor Plan I can us the text tool to label the Lounge, it would be handy if I could drop some kind of Referenced text on my Cross-Section through the lounge so that if I was to go back to my Ground Floor Plan and change the text from "Lounge" to "Living Room" the text on the Cross-Section would automatically update. Im sure there is a tool to do this Ive used it on an old version of Archicad but unsure where to find it in VW2008.

You could use the "Find-Replace Text..." tool under the Text menu.

It is not exactly the same thing as you are suggesting, but it does change all text in one step.

However, I just played with it and found that it did NOT find text that is an annotation of a viewport! A bummer considering I tend to label rooms using annotated viewports. If you do as well then the "Find-Replace Text..." tool will not work for you either.
