I think you are saying you would like a wildcard that lists the specific filename, to be used in the prerelease metadata dialog, so you can embed it in, say, an ID3 tag.

That doesn't currently exist. In the release version, the only use of wildcards is to create filenames, so it wouldn't make any sense to have a wildcard that contains the filename. But this is a reasonable thing to want for the metadata dialog.
