Laravel change stored value of polymorphic relationship

I am trying to make the stored value of a polymorphic relationship more readable by other applications. Currently the polymorphic model type is stored as the FQCN of the model. Using the example in the Laravel Docs, imageable_type could be "App\Product", or "App\Staff". However, this value can be a little more difficult to manage if any non-laravel applications which aren't based on this convention and are also accessing the same database. Also, if the model FQCN ever gets refactored, you have to modify your other applications to account for the change.

Is there a way to change the type to something more consistent and readable, and then have a mapping class that maps the keys to the model? (e.g. have "product" map to "App\Product")
