Description

In sway, I can use output full name as reference, for example:

`set $left "Dell Inc. DELL U2715H H7YCC62P0EBS"`

and the use `$left` in my config.

But with mako, I need to specify the alias, like `DP-4` with the `--output` option.

For example, if I do `swaymsg -t get_outputs`

`Output DP-4 'Dell Inc. DELL U2715H H7YCC62P0EBS'`

I can use `DP-4` but not the full name.

**Works:**

- ` mako --output DP-4 `

**Do not work, but should:**

- `mako --output "Dell Inc. DELL U2715H H7YCC62P0EBS" `

In my setup, I plug/unplug monitors and the `DP-4` name is not stable, that's why I'd like to be able to use the full name.
