After further evaluation, I've found a way to achieve my desired result.
However, look at the code makes me think that it's not exactly intended...
What I've done:
*destination_variable = private_ip_address*
*vpc_destination_variable = private_ip_address*
*destination_format = {0}@{1}*
*destination_format_tags = Name,private_ip_address*
This lets me set the ansible_hostname (or maybe it's inventory_hostname) to
the label I want (instance_name@ip). However, ansible_ssh_host is then set
to that same label, which isn't the correct SSH connection IP. So in my
inventory, I reset ansible_ssh_host like so:
*[all:vars]*
*ansible_ssh_host={{ ec2_private_ip_address }}*
Willing to be this will break something at some point if for no reason but
that when *destination_format* is used it doesn't run the name through the
*to_safe* method in *ec2.py*.
