Feature request
Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:
Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.2)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice if it would be possible to use names for external sites instead of numbers in the URL, e.g. /apps/external/foo instead of /apps/external/1.
I frequently type out URLs, because it's faster than navigating the UI with the mouse and not being able to tell which app I'll open by a name makes that hard if not impossible.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add another property for external sites to choose a name or suggest one from the supplied URL.
Related, but different premise: #61

Research direction
Start by tracing the external-site URL entry point and the UI or configuration used to define external sites. Check how numeric IDs are currently assigned and referenced, then verify that named URLs work and that existing numeric URLs remain handled as expected.
