You can use aliases to assign simple names to IP or Network ID. This
would not be FQDNs, but host or networks. You would need to know the
IP or Networks on the remote end. Any blue field in the NAT and
Firewall rules page can accept an alias.

AFAIK, the original use was to allow quicker changes for NAT and
firewall rules if an internal IP changed, but it might work for this.
You would have to maintain the list of aliases yourself.
