Is it possible to use in a formula a Short Name of a study instead of the ID reference

Example

=L>ID2.SG1+10,

Instead of "ID2.SG1" I'd like to use "EMA10". There is one problem. In one chart EMA10 has the ID2, in a second ID5 and in the third ID7.

Each time you have to adjust the formula. In all my charts the EMA010 has the same ShortName. If I could use the Short Name, it would be much easier.
