Would love to give this a try, but being able to assign names to devices in my network with one click (not by manually creating DNS records) is important to me. This is because my users have existing configurations and I don't want to interrupt their workflow.

If using Tailscale (or similar), you can access a device named "example-device" by running ping example-device or ssh user@example-device.

Does this functionality exist? e.g., from the dashboard, can I assign a name to any device, and have all other devices recognize it by that name?
