Though (if I see it correct) not your initial question, I give some 
related info.
You probably are aware that it is possible to put a conditional Hidden 
paragraph field in the paragraphs?
Not so convenient, I agree, but it can be done.

Note: when inserting such a field, be sure that the various mail merge 
fields are in a separate paragraph. When fields are inserted via the 
dialog for Labels, they are at separate lines, but in one paragraph. You 
have to correct that in the document.

Also: looking at the window Fields, tab Database, there is a field 
Condition left at the bottom. I can be used when entering a Next record 
field, however not with a Mail merge field. That looks as a 'relatively 
easy' way for such an enhancement.


HTH,
regards,
Cor
