symbolic name for registry

It would be nice if I can give the Registry a name instead of showing "localhost:5000" or something else which is technically the hostname of the registry, it does not tell me much which repo I am looking at.

Actually, that's a name. Below, you see repositories and by combining hostname + repo name you get an image reference (URL) as a standard, e.g. 127.0.0.1:5000/myrepo:tag
Not sure why do you need to specify 127.0.0.1:5000 if your actual registry hostname is something else.

I am accessing it via a tunnel. But I have many registries. Knowing which registry I am looking at without investigating my VPN tunnel setup would be helpful.

So you want to have let's say all references in UI to hostname, e.g. 127.0.0.1:500, to be shown with a custom alias name, e.g. registryX and registryX/foobar:1.2.3 references? Everywhere in UI on each page or only breadcrumb?

Everywhere I think. Anywhere where I would see "127.0.0.1:5000" I'd rather see the symbol "registryX".
