Wish Replacing project.zip name "at loading time"

First a question, to know If I should avoid to request this kind of "not so useful" features (this is the real/main purpose of this "Wish"):
Can Anywhere Software make the IDE (easily, without too much work) modify parts of the user's source code as soon as the project is loaded?

B4X:
'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=Project.zip

If would be "useful" (just nice) if the IDE automatically replaced the "Project.zip" name with the real name of the project loaded.

Variable?
Opening the project by command line (I hate command lines - batch files too).


[I still don't know if implementing "stuff" like that would take a lot or little work, but that's okay ]

Is that a placeholder (%%) and a keyword that the IDE will pass to Zipper.jar?
The IDE will replace it with the project name before passing it to Zipper (or any other tool).

Currently there is no PROJECT_NAME placeholder / variable. I need to add it.

The current placeholders are: PROJECT, ADDITIONAL (additional libraries folder), B4X (installation folder) and all the environmental variables.
B4X:
'ide://run?File=%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe&Args=/c&Args=Echo+%PROJECT%
