Description

### Feature Idea

I feel having the exact node identifier shown is more intuitive. I think there's no need of wrapping another layer of name.
eg: Having more consistency when searching nodes in config file.

### Existing Solutions

I only found a solution to both show the wrapping node name (kinda redundant) and the "node id name".
Hope to use "node id name" to replace the wrapping node name.
