Not sure what you mean here...what would that look like?  Would I need
to create a name for it myself like /dev/disk/by-id/wd-usb or do I get
the name from /var/log/messages as it's detected, or something else
entirely?

Trick: once the drive is mounted, and supposing you discovered it is /dev/sda1, do a grep for it:

ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep sda1


You can also see it using the yast partitioner, and I suppose there are other methods I haven't investigated.


Example (vfat):

/dev/disk/by-id/usb-EGOMAN_Audio_Player_00311000100000000001-part1   
/mnt/usb/mp3  vfat  
noauto,user,users,uid=cer,gid=users,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=437
