Yes, it is possible to customize the labels in the slider component in Webflow and change the numbers to text links. Here is how you can achieve this:

  1. Add a Slider component to your Webflow project if you haven't already.
  2. Select the Slider component on the canvas or in the Navigator panel.
  3. In the Slider settings panel on the right side, you will find the "Settings" tab. Click on it.
  4. In the "Slides number" section, you will find a toggle switch for "Show number labels." Toggle it on to display the default number labels for each slide.
  5. To change the number labels to text links, you will need to add custom code to your project. You can do this by either adding custom code to the head or body section of your project or by using Webflow's embedded code component on the page where the slider resides.
  6. Create a text link for each slide you want to display. For example, if you have three slides, you would create three text links.
  7. Give each text link a unique class name. You can do this by selecting the text link and going to the "Settings" panel on the right side. In the "Class Name" field, enter a unique class name for each text link.
  8. Now, write custom code to control the slider using these text links. You can use JavaScript or jQuery for this purpose.
  9. In your custom code, you will need to select the text link elements using their class names and add click event listeners to them.
  10. When a text link is clicked, you will need to trigger the corresponding slide in the slider component to display. You can do this by using the appropriate methods available in the Webflow slider API, such as goToSlide().
  11. Once you have written the necessary code, you can preview or publish your project to see the text links replacing the number labels in the slider component.

Please note that this customization requires some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery, so familiarity with these languages will be beneficial.
