Indeed! That's much easier that LVM :-)

grub> help search
Usage: search [-f|-l|-s] NAME
Search devices by a file or a filesystem label. If --set is specified,
the first device found is set to a variable. If no variable name is
specified, "root" is used.
-f, --file search devices by a file (default)
-l, --label search devices by a filesystem label
-s, --set=VAR set a variable to the first device found
-h, --help display this help and exit
-u, --usage display the usage of this command and exit

That means, you can use unique labels like "usbstick-fedora8" and then
use:
search -f usbstick-fedora8
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-f8
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.24-f8.img
or something like that.
