In a WeBWorK course, you might have an exercise set titled 'Adding Rational Expressions'. You are in WeBWorK, so of course this is a WeBWorK assignment covering that topic.

In the LMS, when you use content item selection to automatically create LTI links to sets in your WW course, the LTI link will have title 'Adding Rational Expressions'. At least in D2L, there is nothing that automatically conveys how this is a link to a WeBWorK set. Based on its title, you might think clicking it will take you to a lesson on that subject. Of course, you can edit the title and description, but it would be nice if the LTI link was initially generated in a way that, for example, makes the title be 'WeBWorK assignment: Adding Rational Expressions'. And/or adds something to the description mentioning WeBWorK.

I could just force it to prepend 'WeBWorK assigment: ' but I wanted to ask if we thing there's a better, configurable way to accomplish the goal.

Perhaps this could be an option that an instructor could choose when importing the sets. A checking could be added with a prefix text input, and if checked the prefix would be added to each imported set.

I suggest that because I don't want such a prefix.

In Canvas if you add a set as an assignment it is clear that it is an assignment, and not something like a link to a lesson on the subject. So such a prefix is not needed.
