Make attribute used for /p/SomePage/{Id} configurable

Question

Make attribute used for /p/SomePage/{Id} configurable

36

Mendix recently introduced the possibility to link directly to pages using "/p/SomePage/{Id}". However {Id} always refers to the objects GUID. This is a problem for several reasons:

GUIDs are increasing, so people can guess numbers (UUID is more suitable)
GUIDs are not very human-readable, pages can only be shared with copy-paste

I understand that not being able to select the attribute makes it easier for Mendix to ensure the links are unique. But it would be great if we could choose the attribute which is used as Id, either to make it unguessable or truly readable.

2021 was not the year, 2022 maybe?

Although you can fix it with Deeplink, it still will be a very useful feature!
