[very detailed description of a network setup, the important point being that there is a bridge created outside of libvirt]
Sorry for being too detailed, I reckoned it is better to give all information that MIGHT be useful.
So you have a host bridge created outside libvirt that you want to be listed in the potential connections in virt-manager (rather than needing to type the name of the bridge).
Yes, that sounds like it.
You can do that by creating a libvirt virtual network with <forward mode='bridge'/> - this type of virtual network expects that the bridge device will have already been created and attached to the world by someone other than libvirt:

Yes, that solved my issue nicely. Thank you very much for the pointer.
