When creating a map on Zabbix, user has no reference for a unique internal ID from the element its modifying.

For example:

• There are map elements type Image and all the elements use the same icon image, so all the element names are the same.
• User wants to create links between elements
• Since all the elements have the same name, user does not know what adjacent element is being referenced for the link

It would be useful if there was a unique ID referencing each one of the elements, especially when linking elements and adding triggers for them.
