As of now links are always labeled drago-<random_id>, and their aliases are set based on the corresponding interface IDs in the database. Allowing for custom link names should be rather straightforward, and involve modifying the CreateInterface() function within the Network Controller implementation, as well as the UI and API to make sure this parameter can be passed by the user. Will add this to the list of improvements for the new release.
Thanks! I had a quick look at implementing this myself following your overview above, but I gave up when I opened the UI folder and realised I have no clue about frontend dev :P hence, I'll have to leave this to you for now.
