Does something like an ASTNode Identifier exist in IntelliJ

Question

I am writing a Plugin for IntelliJ Idea and now I need something like an ASTNode Identifier, it must be unique for every single Node in the AST.

What should I use?

If you are writing a plugin for a custom language, I would refer to this:

Also, you might consider developing your language plugin using:
