You're asking to display queue-specific information in a
non-queue-specific form.  Not a good idea.  But as long as you're
created a MyReq page that contains only tickets from a specific queue,
you can use something like:

my $CustomField = $QueueObj->CustomField( ..your_cf_id.. );

Then you can just print $CustomField->Name or any of the other
accessible methods.
