Any event that involves your character will populate the source/target names and Ids. However the events that fire that do not involve you (which is actually most of them in any public setting) will have a lot of the data stripped out and this is intentionally done by ZOS.
Your final statement in your OP suggested that you wanted to get the display name from the Ids, but if your actual "wish" is to get the displayname instead of character name based on user settings from COMBAT_EVENTS involving you, then that's different.
Your best bet now is to build a table of unitId -> displaynames via COMBAT_EFFECT_CHANGED, or use whatever event triggers when you target someone to build a list of characternames -> displaynames.
