      The existing extension is specific to SNOMED CT.  As discussed on the Vocab Tracker call, this is an interesting idea, and suggest that the submitter enter a new ticket requesting a generic / non-code system specific description id extension.

      Some code systems that do support a description identifier: AMTv2 (Australian Medication Terminology), NZMT - New Zealand Medication Terminology. There are probably others.

    Description

      DescriptionId may be a useful extension to an encoded element. It's unclear why its use should be restricted to a single coding system. Please generalize it.
