USE CASE:
In my office, I work on a big monitor connected to my laptop through HDMI (my machine and i3-autodisplay see it as HDMI-1). I use it as my main monitor, and the laptop's screen as just extra real state.
However, when giving a presentation, it is common to be given "an HDMI to connect to". If I connect it, i3-autodisplay will think it is my office's monitor, which is a problem. When I present, I want to have all my workspaces and windows in my laptop's screen, rather than project them to the audience.
HOW TO IDENTIFY EACH DISPLAY:
In order to identify different displays, one could use the EDID of a display, rather than just the connector name. This info can be obtained from xrandr too:
