Thats a good idea.

One could generate the ID automatically based on the name of the
abstraction, its position (relative to the other abstraction with the same
name) and the ID of the parent patch.

This way it might be possible to come up with unique ID's without
having to name your abstractions individually.

e.g

MAIN1/abs4/subabs3

would be the 3rd abstraction "subabs" (ordered with increasing x then y)
in the 4th abstraction "abs" in the main patch "MAIN".
