It seems like wl_output.name would be useful for this purpose. wl_output.description contains a human-readable string which can be included in the UI. Note, do not assume that wl_output.name will have any defined format. Some compositors will send e.g. "DP-2", some will send an arbitrary ID such as "CD6767WZ", etc.
