Description
I can see from the source code that Msagl Edge objects (Microsoft.Msagl.Core.Layout.Edge) can potentially have multiple Msagl Labels using its property labels :

But I also noticed a drawing Edge object (Microsoft.Msagl.Drawing.Edge) has only a single drawing Label object :

Also, Msagl.Label object has not Text property while a drawing Label does have.
Could you please shortly clarify how these comes together and if it was implemented as desired, then how would it be possible to have two labels associated to a single edge, one drawn to the left and the other to the right site of the edge ?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reading Microsoft.Msagl.Core.Layout.Edge, Microsoft.Msagl.Drawing.Edge, and the related Label classes to compare how labels are represented and rendered. Determine whether multiple labels per drawing edge are supported and whether left/right placement is defined; done requires a decided behavior and corresponding API or documentation direction.
