I do the same, I use the UUID to setup function specific names.
I also use costum names for partitions and removable drives.
UUID requires knowing it first, so that's fine if you always use the same
removable drive(s)
My "point" (or rather remark and question) is this:
I usually set up the Desktop so that when I plug in a card or stick it is
automatically mounted AND appears on the desktop. This works well on desktop
computers.
As I said, Raspberry Pi, but also many Laptop I use use or can use some
micro-SD card as mass storage. Typically my Toshiba Z20T uses the internal
card for / and /home, but most data live on the SD card.
If I set the computer up as my desktop, I can plug in a USB stick and it will
appear on the Desktop - but then so does my micro-SD card, which I would
prefer not to see there.
If I untick "mounted removable media", then my micro-SD card no more appears,
but then neither does my USB stick.
I know how to find where it has been mounted, it's just inconvenient...
I think there is no way to change that, I just wondered if anone had a way.
For example, MacOS hides partitions with names starting with .
