I don't think that would work since even with the UUID the system wouldn't know where to look at. The UUIDs are great when they are a part of the partition/file system where the  other software know where to look at. If I'm correct, the UUIDs are read from the fs and then found in /etc/fstab to see where they are going. This won't work if the target is a file or a loop device.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me. :)
