renaming chests ingame via console or an openmw function.

1 way that came to my mind how it could maybe work would be, that it could be similar like new enchanted items which does create a new item itself. And a little script that removes the old one. So it should be used on empty ones only. I have no idea What openmw is capable of , maybe even much better than my proposal, so i'm just throwing this out there. It would be a very convenient and cool feature doing that ingame instead of CS.

Since it would not mess with the ID but only the name it should cause No Problems. It would work ofc only for that Character/savegame/ playthrough

create a new object record with same everything except the name
create an instance of said object record with same scale, position, etc
move the stuff from the old container to the new container
disable the old container
