Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Another advantage of using separate fields for the silkscreen label and for
the additional details is that the userspace program that it is displaying
it (trace-cmd or whatever) could have different profiles to either display
just the error message and the silkscreen label or to print the entire error
message.
