Gmail Feature Request: Workflows/rules for labels

I usually access my Gmail account via IMAP, because it allows me aggregate my Gmail and work email, which sometimes intermingle. In that environment, I don't have access to full Gmail UI functionality.

I would like to be able to setup an IMAP-accessible label to which I could assign some processing workflow to be activated when a label is added.

A couple of examples:
- When I add the "!GmPhishing" label, Gmail would automatically perform the "Report phishing" action.
- When I add the "!GmArchive" label, Gmail would perform the "Archive" and "Remove !GmArchive label" actions.

Kind of like filters, but for labels.
