Are there any tricks, or even aftermarket tools that can parse metadata text into an existing text layer...?  I would certainly be willing to pay for the expertise to create such a tool - it would be a worthwhile expense for the person or company smart enough to make it...

I am looking to automate the more time-consuming steps of button creation.  I already have actions to automate applying my custom borders and overlays (with a separate text-only layer for the name), as well as for final sizing.  I cull the originals in Lightroom by adding the subjects' names in a metadata field before throwing out the bad shots...

I would like to add a step that would parse a chosen metadata field into the text layer automatically.

Any ideas?
