Comment (by porridgebear):

 It need not be an ID. An alias could be introduced, e.g. "price_badge"
 that abstracts away from an ID.

 I tried a widget called Image Widget which allows you to put images into
 sidebars. The trouble is, it always comes back to the Media library. It
 uses it as a basis for placing media assets into zones in the page but as
 soon as you update an asset that widget breaks too.

 I think plugins/sidebars will all struggle to work on top of a core that
 is fundamentally changing the identity of assets around on updates.
