What would be the "master" of the custom detail types. Please note that the entity may not be directly related to a player. It might be about football boots for instance.

I'm not sure I'm follow this bit at all. What are label names and where are they stored?. Ditto "detail type records". How would you express the essence of your proposal in DDL/DML?
