[Reference feedback]: Am I supposed to remember the IDs or Names? #31304

Reference command name

az ad sp show

Feedback

I am sorry but I could not find the reason for NOT having the following as a valid option:
az ad sp show --name

I am just assuming I must be doing something wrong. The current command offers following syntax:
az ad sp show --id "alphanum-aaaa-nnnn-aaaa-abcd12345678" ( i.e. valid "appId" ).
Meaning I must have stored the appId somewhere OR must remember it.

It would be more helpful if I can get the details using the name not the ID.
This means I must pull it from portal even if I have given a better meaningful name.

Thanks
