Value List Filter - Aliases/Text

Question

If I am creating a value list filter in a toolbox tool for the user to select (in this case pointing at urls) is there a way for the text they select from in the tool GUI dropdown to be different from the values in the list that are fed to the script?

I want to give the user a human readable option (which I also need to utilize later in the script for naming outputs), rather than the (meaningless to them) url.

If a selection is made from the value list, it will be a parameter for the tool.  From the selected value, why not use a dictionary to extract what you want.
