The only other method of exporting an SSID is via 802.1X (RADIUS) authentication mechanisms which contain the SSID in the authentication exchange. However, this requires an 802.1X capable access point to ensure the wireless device stays off the network until the authentication is complete.
Typically controlling guest networks falls under either VLANs or 802.1X. The SSID, being an entirely internal attribute of the access point, is not something that is routinely exported. The only exceptions are the mentioned DHCP Option 82 (assuming the access point supports Option 82 and can be told to include the SSID) or 802.1X/RADIUS (assuming the access point supports 802.1X). Typical consumer grade routers will likely not support DHCP Option 82 unless you have replaced the firmware with a custom version (such as OpenWRT or similar) and modify its configurations to send the data.
