If you do not want to use Bentley Map as mentioned, you can write VBA or .NET code to extract attributes from referenced shape file and place the text dynamically in a dgn. I in fact have written an application in .NET that has been deployed for at least 3 years since V8i. The application was extremely successful and productivity skyrocketed. I will be happy to share the application. In its current state, we place street names, sections - towhnships - ranges, parcel numbers, and parcel owners. The shape files and the attribute name can be dynamically changed in a Microstation cfg file. Please contact me if you are interested in the application and I will email you the application and procedure.
