text parameters for blueprint-entity's that can be named

TL;DR
suggestion is to add text-parameters/-placeholders in blueprints for entity's that can be named like train-stations
What ?
currently its not possible to e.g. number train-stations for cell-oriented train-bases where you have multible stations in a cell-blueprint that are numbered by cell-number, or using one blueprint for loading and unloading stations.
- cell numbering that is currently not archiveable with parameters alone, example for two cells that produce green circuits

idea/suggestion
adding additional free-text parameters to the selection that can be filled with text when placing them
- additional text-parameters (like the regular ones just with a different color)

- how the station names would look like as template

Why ?
blueprint parameters are awesome and having the possibility to have additional text-parameters would make naming of train stations in cells even more awesome because its a huge hazzle to (still) change every train station name by hand if you have 500+ stations just to add a silly number
