This is done by revision 1945.
In fact I was using this feature for the new star catalog available with the beta version 3.5 after December 19.

There is a few condition to respect in Catgen to make it working:
- Fields String 3,4,5 and 6 must be checked.
- Field "String 3" label must be CommonName . It can contain the common star name if available.
- Field "String 4" label must be Fl . It can contain the Flamsteed number if available.
- Field "String 5" label must be Bayer . It can contain the Bayer letter.
- Field "String 6" label must be Const . It can contain the 3 letter constellation abbreviated name.
 
Bayer label is show with the Greek symbol if the Bayer field content (case insensitive) truncated to three letter contain one of:
'alp','bet','gam','del','eps','zet','eta','the','iot','kap','lam','mu','nu','xi','omi','pi','rho','sig','tau','ups','phi','chi','psi','ome'

You can also look at the files used to build the new star catalog, including the Catgen .prj file:
