Hi

Sorry for late answer. It is not supported currently, but you can
do that with attached unofficial patch. The patch will cause to use
existing MPLS next-hop label stack even if IP next hop is reset to
local address during BGP export. So you can define static route with
MPLS stack and announce it. Perhaps you would also need to add static
MPLS rules to decapsulate incoming labeled traffic.
