Currently you can't create a selection between labels automatically as
far as I know.
As you may know, you can click in the audio track then SHIFT + CLICK
at a second point to create a selection between those points. So you
could click in the label then SHIFT + CLICK in the audio track above the
point marking the label point. It should be accurate enough given the
inevitable error in placing a label during playback, and in fact if you
click close enough to the exact point, the selection will actually snap
accurately to the labels (you'll see the yellow vertical lines
indicating this). SHIFT + CLICK in the label itself won't work, though
I'd argue it should.
You can also draw a selection during playback and then CTRL + M will
label the selection.

This can't really be avoided as some people would want to add a space
in their label name. You can use up arrow to shift focus to the audio
track then unmodified hotkeys like spacebar to start/stop playback will
work. Use down arrow to shift focus back to the label to continue
typing. Of course when you have finished typing, hitting ENTER to
confirm the label will let you use spacebar to play.
