I already said that on project chat, but the discussion is going on here as
well, so ...
Is it possible to give to the parser function a substitution semantics ? If
a name or an alias is replaced by a Pid on the first expansion, maybe be a
html comment on the original string used to find the property for human
readers, this would solve the label unstability problem.
If the label is ambiguous and cannot be substituted, then instead of subst
with a Pid, it may also possible to substitute with an error span
explaining it's ambiguous and suggesting the alternative properties ...

Or is the feature request to actually allow
input that looks like
{{#property:date of birth}} so that folks do not even have to remember
numbers
or lookup the mapping ?
That's not a feature request, that's how it is designewd to work, and has
been
working for a long time. The change under discussion is allowing aliases
here,
in addition to labels.
