[V8i] Any way to make points from SHP file display as cell? Or annotate by attributes?

I am doing some work on an asset inventory, and we have the initial location data provided to us as an SHP file.

When I reference in the information, the elements are zero-length points. I understand that is how they come across, but is there any way to make them display as a cell or a symbol?
I know that I could get the coordinates and ImportXYZ to create cells in those locations, but I really would like to maintain access to the DB attributes I can see when I "Information" the points.

Speaking of which, is there any way in vanilla MicroStation or in InRoads to label these SHP points with one or more of the attributes as text? Can I use Fields for that?

Thank you.
