Storing auto generated _id under different name

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Is it possible to have the _id be auto-generated and store it so that it's
in the _source field under a different name, like say "id" instead of "_id"?

No, it isn't possible.

Why would you like to have the id of the document included in _source?

I'm using elasticsearch as the database for a service. It would make things
easier. For example, I could just return the _source field when other apps
query my service. Related to that is that on the javascript client side, I
am inserting the _id field into the _source JSON object as "id" and using
that as the model for two way data-binding. If the id field was in the
source already, I wouldn't have to keep track of this.
