That's possible, but I can't find the way to do it right now.
You may find it easier to set up usbd.conf(5) to automatically mount
the device when it's detected. Or, alternatively, to make a symbolic
link from a constant name in /dev (which is pretty close to what you
asked for originally).
Be well.
