Column and CellLabel

Question

Is it possible to add a CellLabel over multiple lines? When trying the code

SetOptions[ NotebookSelect[mb], CellLabel-> Column@{"line 1", "line 2"} ]

with a Cell selected in the mb Notebook, nothing shows up. What's the solution for this?

Thanks all!

Not specially. One label is enough, but it should consist of several lines. Is that possible? — Gabriel, Sep 14 '13 at 11:49
Ok. Now, then, is it possible to add multiple labels to one cell? Thanks for all help! — Gabriel, Sep 14 '13 at 11:54
I'd like a cell to have a name with a number, for example "Cell 1.", "Cell 2." etc. But also, each cell should have a maximal mark sign, for example " \ 4" or "\ 10", different with each cell. These two lines of text should appear with each cell. Do you think that's possible? Thanks! — Gabriel, Sep 14 '13 at 11:58
@Kuba: sorry for this: I totally forgot to cast votes. My bad :)! — Gabriel, Sep 14 '13 at 12:14
@Kuba: Hm, yes, I'll try to classify my cells differently then! Thanks! — Gabriel, Sep 14 '13 at 14:37

You can use any formatting in cell dingbats. Try

Cell["A cell with a dingbat", "Text",
 CellDingbat->StyleBox["Emulated\nLabel","CellLabel"]]

See if you can tell it from a real one.
