TYPO3 9.5 LTS routeEnhancers for news with uid to make path unique

Question

Hello I found the following on a TYPO3 Slack channel as what one person was using. This snip of yaml exists at the /config/my-websitename/config.yaml ...

routeEnhancers:
  NewsList:
    type: Extbase
    limitToPages: [2,20,21,22,92]
    extension: News
    plugin: Pi1
    routes:
      - routePath: '/p{page}'
        _controller: 'News::list'
        _arguments: {'page': '@widget_0/currentPage'}
      - routePath: '/{news_title}'
        _controller: 'News::detail'
        _arguments: {'news_title': 'news'}
    defaultController: 'News::list'
    defaults:
      page: '0'
    requirements:
      page: '\d+'
      news_title: '^[a-zA-Z0-9].*$'
    aspects:
      page:
        type: StaticRangeMapper
        start: '1'
        end: '100'
      news_title:
        type: PersistedAliasMapper
        tableName: 'tx_news_domain_model_news'
        routeFieldName: 'path_segment'

The problem

But I noticed that when I have multiple articles with the same title there's not a unique URL.

The question

How can I add the article uid to the path to make it unique or is that a good idea? I found that it was eluded to in the docs but don't know how to get it working to extend what I have already or if there's a better example someone can give me of how to get unique urls for news?
