Org handles an ID property which can be an arbitrary string, but it
must be unique.
So you could directly use these.

P.S. Why they felt compelled to make an ID 140 hex digits is beyond me.
16^140 is
3773962424821541352241554580988268890916921220416440428376206300245624162392148852086126725177658767541468375030763844899770584629924792632561434251432696043649395326976
which is about 4 times 10^168, which is 100 million times the number
of particles in the universe squared, so 100 million times the number
of possible particle-particle pairings across the entire universe.
Only very blown-up egos will think they'll ever get this many emails
or tasks. Even though, I know some who might be thinking just
that.... :-)
