Parts includes a configuration option to copy the Library Ref to the Description parameter. This feature was added in the 10/14/2019 release.
The single key lookup that links the placed symbol to the database is displayed in the Design Item ID.
When parts are placed from a Database library existing parameters defined in the symbol may be over written if parameters in the database have the same name.
User Preferences and DBLib options can be set to achieve the desired results.
