https://manned.org/fstab.5 states
"
   The first field (fs_spec).
       This field describes the block special device or remote 
filesystem
       to be mounted.
       ...
       LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid> may be given instead of a device
       name.  This is the recommended method, as device names are 
often a
       coincidence of hardware detection order, and can change 
when other
       disks are added or removed.  For example, `LABEL=Boot' or
       UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.  (Use a 
filesystem-
       specific tool like e2label(8), xfs_admin(8), or 
fatlabel(8) to set
       LABELs on filesystems).

       It's also possible to use PARTUUID= and PARTLABEL=. These
       partitions identifiers are supported for example for GUID
       Partition Table (GPT).

That works for an explicit value of "foo".

Maybe the problem is D.E. specific? I'm using MATE and thus Caja 
as file-manager.
On top menu-bar Places will list identifiers for mountable devices.
Clicking the "identifier" will "mount" the identified device.
It will use information available from /etc/fstab and/or 
pmount.allow .
Neither appears to have an entry equivalent to "any FAT 
filesystem on plugable device".
