I'm using a lot of smart objects in Photoshop to mock up different states of my UI design. When I first created these smart objects from series of layers, the objects took on names like "ui element name copy 422.psb" and "ui element name copy 4422.psb". I've changed the names of these smart objects in the layers panel so they make sense in the stack of layers, but when I scan over three or four open tabs of smart objects, it is difficult to tell them apart. Changing the temp .psb file names will make it easier to navigate my Photoshop workspace.

It looks like Photoshop stores all of the embedded smart objects as temp files with a .psb extension. Of course, if I convert all of these embedded smart objects to linked ones, I'll get to pick whatever name I want, but this will also require significant effort to change my project organization to accomodate. Without converting these to linked smart objects, is there a way to change the name of the temp .psb file?
