Currently, the only method of inputting custom spells as statuses is via name.  A couple problems arise when multiple auras have the same name.  Sacred Shield (ID 53601) and its related buff Sacred Shield (ID 58597) share the same name and hence end up overlapping each other on the same indicator (not physical over-lapping of frames, just the buff will sometimes replace the 30 second spell).  I have gone in and edited my saved database to check via ID instead of name, but it would be nice to implement a field in the options to specify an ID, if known, for advanced users.

The API does NOT allow to identify the source ID of an aura. As long as this is true, Grid2 Auras won't be able to distinguish between aura having the same name.

Making this distinction based on other criteria (texture, combat log event, or something else) would need a specially designed status that probably won't be part of Grid2 Core.
