Anyone have any ideas how to create an appearing/disappearing label for a button element like this?

Hi Simon, welcome to the community 👋

You could try to create it like a tooltip when hovered:

Or you can make it a bit more complex and create a workflow with a timer that hides this element after X amount of time.
