When using compdef for ZSH completion, I would like to display a "nice" name to a user (e.g. a device name) and when it is selected, a different value is injected (e.g. device serial number / UUID).

How can this be done with _arguments / _alternative / _describe?

Specifically, I have function list-devices that will return ( devA devB devC ), and a separate shell script that will convert e.g. devA into UUID1234. I want the user to be able to select devA, and have UUID1234 appear on the command line.
