Description
At the moment you can configure the contains view using the below menu:
Ideally you could set the "Label" property to itself be a custom label (similar to what you can currently do now for group-by). The use case here is that our applications creates several containers from the same image but with a complex name (this is a product of the underlying framework) being able to set a "friendly" name in the container labels is possible so being able to set the primary container name on a custom label would be convenient.
Thanks for your consideration :)

Research direction
Start at the containers view configuration and trace how the existing group-by custom-label setting is represented and applied. Extend the label setting to accept a custom container label, then verify that containers sharing an image can display the configured friendly label in the view; no files or tests are named in the issue.
