I think we are on the same page, and my intent was to match full names.

So now you get "t0050" from some failed-test output (prove, or just the
output from make failing), and you copy it into the command-line to use
with "--test". And instead you'd just copy the full text name. It's a
little less convenient because t1234 is short enough that I'd type it,
and I'd probably cut-and-paste the text name. But other than that, I'd
expect the procedure to be the same.
Most often, they are no longer in my scroll buffer, though.  Two
4-digit integers I can easily hold in my head and type.  Full names
of two test scripts?  That's a bit taxing.

So, not really.
