I think this can be done already today. At least YaST offers a way to select a
specific item in a submenu and pass it to grub-set-default. This leads to an
entry like this in grubenv:
saved_entry=Advanced options for SLE15SP4 (with Xen hypervisor)>Xen hypervisor,
version 4.17.20220823T122205.399bcbf2-xen_unstable.150400.370>SLE15SP4, with
Xen 4.17.20220823T122205.399bcbf2-xen_unstable.150400.370 and Linux
5.14.21-150400.24.21-default
This entry will be booted as long as both this specific Xen version and this
specific kernel version is found. There is a slim chance a SUSE specific patch
exists to enable this functionality.
Maybe the patch description lacks a specific example how the proposed change is
supposed to be used in your environment.
