I can call a label in the same batch using
CALL :LABEL
but I can t find a way to run it in a separate window, nothing of this works:
start "" :LABEL
cmd /c :LABEL
start "" call :LABEL
The only way I found is calling a separate batch file, but this is not a solution because I want to have all the code in the same batch for ease of use and access. Do you know any posible solution?

As Windows batch doesn't support this, your solution may be an if
at the very beginning of your batch file, checking for a specific first argument:
if "%~1"=="gotolabel" goto %~2
With this, you may insert calls to labels like this (%~dpnx0
evaluates to the path+name of your batch, %COMSPEC%
evaluates to cmd.exe):
start "" "%COMSPEC%" /c "%~dpnx0" "gotolabel" LABEL
...or, without a new window:
"%COMSPEC%" /c "%~dpnx0" "gotolabel" LABEL
