Different variations of the GenomeData type (Proteins, Genes, Loci) store the data in fasta/gff files where names end with different suffixes (e.g.: _proteins.fasta for proteins or _loci.gff for loci). It would be handy to have a way to easily retrieve feature/genome IDs without the need to parse the names (in a similar way as is described in https://github.com/bokulich-lab/q2-types-genomics/issues/56).
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative solution could be to remove the suffix completely but this would need adjusting the actions which already use that type (one of them being get-ncbi-genomes in RESCRIPt) and could potentially cause issues with artifacts which were created before.
