Hi Yu,
Yes this is possible by default. If you export the records to CSV, add the labels to the records in the CSV and then import the CSV again you could add them in bulk.

Another alternative is to use the Mass Editing module, it can be a real timesaver when you need to update a lot of records at once.
You can get it at  apps.odoo.com [1]  or at  OCA GitHub [2] . It has been ported quite extensively to different Odoo versions.

Creating an action in the tree view with a dialog box would be a lot or work, I would think.  I would do it from the command line using the Odoo XMLRPC API. Quite easy.
