ESP-MESH-WIFI using ESP Idf

I'm starting to work with ESP MESH WIFI and one question that I had was about unicast messages.
Is there any mechanism that makes possible for the devices to not have only mac address of their childrens and other nodes in network but also some alias so that the every device could be accessed without knowing the MAC.
I want to deploy it in a building automation project so knowing apriori all the mac of devices it seems to me a bit strange and also difficult to manage if i add any new node to the network.
Any MESH code would alse help me a lot

Hi. I work a lot with esp mesh. To your request, not that I know. The Mesh event manager has an event child connected where you can associate the mac to an alias and have your own mac table. But it’s not the same, since you are responsible for controlling the alias when created and when dying (event child disconnected). Good luck
