Reference other metadata field(s) in all Rename contexts

Looking for something akin to Soundminer's "Field build" feature, where you can build values incorporating other metadata fields of a record (in SM case, by using {Field_name} to refer to a particular metadata field). For instance -- and this is just one of the numerous possible uses of course -- when working with dialogue, I rename my production audio files by Scene and Take by constructing a metadata field like this:

s{Secene}_t{Take}_{Tape}

and then setting Filename to that field so all my files get renamed in a form of s17A_t6_08212019.wav etc.

Would love to have something like this available in Basehead in all Rename contexts -- Details panel, Target Rename, etc. At this point in my demo process this is about the only feature lacking compared to Soundminer, preventing me from making an immediate switch.
