[Tex/LaTex] leadsto with text

Question

I know that:

\[
 A \xleftarrow{\text{this way}} B
  \xrightarrow[\text{or that way}]{ } C
\]

will produce:

Is there a way to have an arrow with text, but with the style of a \leadsto???

Answer 1

I provide a solution with use of tikz-cd. This is easy but will not expand automatically. Just edit the [column sep=4.5em] to your needs.

As you had problems with Gonzalo's code, I adapted it slightly for you. Should work now. However, you will not be able to set the label below the arrow. If you are good in TikZ, you may define more commands like this or set optional parameters in order to modify the placement.

\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}

\newcommand\xrsquigarrow[1]{%

        \begin{tikzpicture}[%
            baseline={(current bounding box.south)}
            ]
        \node[%
            ,inner sep=.44ex
            ,align=center
