The Name as ID is not usable as it is a translatable field in AppStream - the
id is a technical representation (for applications it's based on the desktop
file)

Disregarding the AS in zypper might be the best course - zypper is considered
to be a package manager - an addon of 'application store view' on top seems
weird.
