We've been talking internally about a similar feature. I've been calling it "tagged snapshots" as it is similar to git version tagging. Our users would like to be able to tag a particular snapshot and use that tag for processing. For example, a tag like "2020q1" could be used for a financial reporting table to label the version that was used for Q1 reporting. Our users want to keep these tags forever. Is your use case similar? I'm interested because I think we might want to have first-class support for named snapshots, instead of having a property that selects by equality.
