Can I enable dhcp4 on all interfaces globally without knowing the interface names with netplan and networkd?

Can I enable DHCP4on all interfaces globally without knowing the interface names with netplan? I might add any USB connected ethernet NIC, and I just want any of them to get the network config via DHCP4. I know it works with NetworkManager. But I would rather use the networkd renderer.

It is possible to enable wifi on an interface without knowing the exact interface name by using the match syntax:

network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: alleths: match: name: en* dhcp4: true

Be sure to avoid any settings that would collide between multiple interfaces (and do not use set-name).
