How to include meta data in HTML tags

I plan to use a headless-CMS to manage content on my website, so a non-technical content editor will be able to independently maintain content.

To assist the content editor map content between the website and the CMS, I need to inject a CMS ID into HTML tags. (thinking that the content editor will view the page source to find the value)

What is the standard way to inject meta data into a HTML tag?

E.g. <p cms-id=7adQpNPZxP4jK28RLp3wES></p>

You can use data- attributes on elements. See Mozilla: Using data attributes for usage.

It doesn't interfere with HTML semantics and is easily accessible with JavaScript.

The <meta> tag defines metadata about an HTML document. Metadata is information about data.

<meta> tags always go inside the <head> element, and are typically used to specify character set, page description, keywords, author of the document, and viewport settings.
