Webel has a proposal for clearly revealing anonymous typed elements in SysML callouts and on derived Properties from operation queries.

In most cases, these Webel Best Practice items apply:
Webel Best Practice: SysML: Webel: "Trust the Type!" - Often the name of the Type of an anonymous Property or instance-level element is completely sufficient to indicate its role - unless multiple Properties of the same Type have different roles within the same owner context!
Webel Best Practice: "Trust the Port or Pin Type!" - Often the name of the Type of an anonymous Port or Pin is completely sufficient to indicate its role, unless a clear indication of its direction or unique role is required.
However, anonymous Property names currently don't "play nicely" with the SysML Requirements relationship information callout system:
SysML: Non-anonymous (concise please) block property names and port names may help a little in tracing participation of properties and ports in requirements relationships and play nicely with current SysML callout style. Short role indicators are best!
Webel proposes that the SysML callout notation could be improved by permitting the type of anonymous Properties to be optionally indicated in Property path name: ':MyBlock', ':MyValueType' etc.
