I'd rather have a variable, e.g., `org-latex-custom-id-as-label'. When
this variable is non-nil, Org uses raw custom ID value instead of
auto-generated value for labels.

Its docstring should explain the limitations that are introduced when
using this variable, and in which cases it is interesting to enable it
(i.e, your use-case). IOW the docstring should be informative about the
trade-off.

So, it's basically your patch with an additional variable and its
docstring. Do you want to take care of it?

OK. Since you had developed this idea in another paragraph, I thought
there was another reason. Never mind then.
