[V8] [ir.model] [SOLVED] Is it possible to assign a specific ID for a custom model?

Question

Every time I create a new db the id of a module changes. Since I would like to create some server actions linked to my xml I need to put a specific id (for both server actions AND models).
Populating the ID "manually" isn't an option, because those values are used on various places and I fear there is a great risk of using the same ID twice.
Is there a way to reserve an unique ID *on creation stage *trough python or xml without mess up the DB?

Solved the server action issue!
The problem is how do you create a server action: if you create it by GUI then you don't have an external ID but just an ID number, while if you create via XML you can use the ID name as a *button name* and Odoo will assign automatically an ID number.
I have a server action called rest_checkout_send, then on button name I wrote
<button name="%(rest_checkout_send)d" string="Enviar" type="action" attrs="{'invisible':[('status','=','1')]}"/>  and it was automatically

Federico,
It's not possible to keep same *ID,* because sometimes you install "xyz" first and sometimes "abc" first. Obviously ID will be changed every time. It's simple logic.
However External ID never gets changed. ( That is why it is stands for) Why you are not thinking for to use *"External ID"* instead of "*ID*" ???
Are you aware about "External ID" ?
