AFAICS this would rely too much upon information local to each Linux box. The requirement would be to store the symbolic name for the encrypted(!) file system on the device itself. Symbolic name and passphrase belong together. If the name changes with each PC the USB stick is plugged into, then there is no real advantage over using something like "/dev/sdb3".
