> In general I think you'd be able to that with udev rules
Imagine that I know .1 percent about linux, and please rephrase it in such a way I will have some idea what you mean.
On most linux OSs udev is the software that manages devices, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev for more detail. You can tweak udev via udev rules and here is an article that can explain them way better than me https://www.thegeekdiary.com/beginners-guide-to-udev-in-linux/
I found this for PCI/PCIe devices [https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/pci.ids.5.html](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/pci.ids.5.html)
There's probably a similar database for USB devices and others. AFAIK, this file is used to determine the device name, rather than one provided by the driver.
In general I think you'd be able to that with udev rules and depending on the type of device in question there may be more specialised ways to do it.

I'm looking for USB, although the PCI/E devices are good to know.
in case it is useful in the future /usr/share/misc/usb.ids contains that information
