Topic: HTML label in MDBCheckbox
Currently, the label prop from MDBCheckbox escapes the text. I did not find any mention of ability to change this behavior in the docs. It seems this critical functionality is missing.

Hello @okaeri,
Can you explain what HTML elements exactly you want to add as a label? It's the first time I read about adding anything else than a string as a label.
Keep coding, Mikołaj from MDB

I have noticed this issue while trying to implement user-defined checkout page checkboxes. It is common for e-commerce websites to provide links in checkboxes. It would be problematic at best to prevent end-users from doing this.
While I understand accessibility concerns (e.g. described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label) I don't think it is wise to limit the use of an included component in this manner.
I have seen countless examples of the label links on the login or registration pages. It also seems this use case is the one that MDM advocates against - but at the end, this is the choice of the developer.
There are many use cases like icons as additional visual aid/guide directing to the other interface elements, context emphasis, idiomatic text and similar.
