Currently, wl-mirror and wl-present seems to only support specifiing output aliases like 'DP-1', 'eDP-2', 'HDMI-1-A' etc...
I tried with full screen name including model and serial number but it does not seems to work (or I am missing something).

I find this behavior not really reliable as output aliases can change depending on the order screen are plugged.
It could be usefull to be able to identify screens with a criteria (similar to how kanshi identify screens)

you're right, artificially limiting wl-mirror to just wayland output names is bad for usability, scriptability, and might not even scale accross desktops.

This is a good suggestion, I will add something like make/model matching as well. I'm gonna look at what kanshi supports and try to behave similarly/the same as that tool.
