More filename strings?

Hello!
I'm making the move over to OBS from GeForce Experience for my clipping software due to their horrid customer service, and I already find OBS much more interesting and flexible.

However I am curious about one thing, for my replays, I don't see a filename string option that gets the currently selected program name. (E.G. "Garry's Mod 2022-05-30... .mp4", or "Team Fortress 2 2022-05-30... .mp4" etc.) I've looked through the currently available options and don't see any that would immediately pop out to me as a solution. I would really prefer to have this as an option, as I tend to organize my clips by game.

Is this hopefully a feature already in OBS that I'm missing? Or am I unfortunately asking for something new to be added here, or a plugin to install?

Thanks.

Not in vanilla OBS, might be supplied by some plugin. It's not included, because any video is composited by an arbitrary number of sources. You want only one source - your game. But actually, you can capture as many games at the same time in the same video as you like. Just add them as source somewhere on the canvas. So how should OBS choose automatically which source will supply the name for the output file? That's not possible.
