Description
Similar to https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions/issues/133, it would be nice to be able to serve a wasm file without a name section, but have it associated with a wasm file that has a name section. In particular this would be useful for developers profiling or getting stack traces from a wasm file in production.
I'm not sure if build_id is the right mechanism for this, or perhaps a custom section with a private URL. Any thoughts?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the related tool-conventions issue 133 and the alternatives named here: build_id or a custom section with a private URL. Define how a production wasm file without a name section would associate with a separate file containing names, and document the convention needed for profiling and stack traces.
