That might become an instance label like:
I1.1 for slot 1
I1.2 for slot 2

I don't think specifying it is any more complicated.  Chip design software
does all this and it looks like module-name attrib attached to a symbol in the higher level
schematics, (none on a leaf instance), and instance numbers such as I1 or for convenience,
used with buss labeling, stacks of instances designated 11:16 or I1:32 with busses labeled
signal_a[0:31].

Implementing it may be harder than falling off a truck though...
