The best I can think of is to add a hidden reconfigurable property that
stores a UUID...
It would need some guards, eg
If a job is copied, generate a new UUID
If a job is modified by POST of the config.xml, generate a new UUID if
there is already a different UUID for a job in the instance.
Not unpossible but a bit of a pain
