I have decided to ask the following in a separate thread.

I am evaluating if udisks2 D-Bus API allows to create a tool as 
convenient as pmount(1) that is smart enough to unlock a device before 
mounting it (optionally with specified name of mountpoint)

     pmount /dev/sda1 mybackup

I have puzzled by your function however. I believed that udisks was 
created to allow *regular* users to mount drives. If you are using sudo 
why do not you use "cryptsetup open" directly? Otherwise udisksctl can 
ask password if policy does not allow disk operations for the current user.

P.S. Unfortunately mount name is hardcoded in udisksd. It is either 
label or UUID, it can not be specified when a partition is mounted.
