Is it possible to assign different labels to symbolic links and actual files?

Hello,

I am working on a embedded platform and we have busybox on this device.

What we would like to do do is assign diffrent labels to various
busybox links. What we have seen when running things on JFFS2 when I
label a symbolic link, the actual file gets the label, but the link
itself doesn't (according to ls -lZ output).  We have seen similar
behaviour with files on tmpfs as well.

ls -lZ
-rw-r--r--        1         0 Jan  1 00:12 system_u:object_r:myfile_t X
lrwxrwxrwx    1         1 Jan  1 00:13 user_u:object_r:tmpfs_t          Y -> X

Is there no way to assign different label to symlink and actual files?
Is this file-system specific issue? Are there any file-system that
support assigning seperate labels to symlink and actual file?
