This story is a follow-up to #18574.

It may be helpful to have a way to avoid the PySDK developer explicitly translating properties from identifiers to human-readable labels and vice versa.
It would probably be necessary to make this feature disabled by default (to be backward compatible) and, when enabled, provide a way to override it on a call-by-call basis.

For example, the following call:

api.collections().get(uuid=xxxxxx).execute()
{
uuid: xxxxxx,
...
properties: { 'Creature': 'Human', ... }
}

... would return an object whose properties map contains human-readable labels.
For the update/create cases, the calls would allow human-readable labels to get translated to their identifiers just before sending them to the API server.
