The file produced using the command line
   obabel -:"CO methanol" -O out.sdf --property MyID 1234
would add have a title "methanol" and a property MyID with a value 1234.

If you would like OpenBabel to provide the unique ID:
   obabel infile.xxx -O out.sdf --add inchi inchikey cansmi
would add properties containing InChI, InChIKey and canonical SMILES. 
(You would need only one.)

You could also do this from the GUI or from scripting or Pybel.
