In UI Builder, how to get a record from a table without sys_id

I'm trying to build an experience in UI Builder to allow check in/out of wheelchairs.  The intent is to have an input field that the user clicks into, then uses a barcode reader which pushes the asset tag # into the field as a text string.  The user would then click a button to check in or check out the asset.  The button would do a lookup on the main Inventory table, searching for the (unique) asset tag value, and then return the record sys_id (to be used in a data resource).

 

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do this.  It seems like all data resources only take sys_id as a lookup and I can't find a mechanism by which to do a GlideRecord lookup outside of a data resource.

 

Is there any documentation or videos describing how to do something like this?

 

Thanks for any help.
