How to get file name while creating snippets (Live Templates)

I am creating a snippet for my templates in Meteor and the only thing left to be perfect would be to know the file name in which that snippet was called.

What I have: 

type: temp + tab

What I get:

 <template name="">

 </template>

What I want:

 <template name="">
   file_name.html
 </template>

Live Templates is how "snippets" are called in WebStorm and other IDEA-based IDEs.

There is filename() function (fileNameWithoutExtension() has been added a few version later) that can provide such info/text for a variable. Official documentation.

Knowing that: add a variable into your template and then use the aforementioned function on it:

<template name="$END$">
    $FILE$
</template>

Now click on "Edit Variables" button and use it there. Selecting "Skip if defined" will make that variable "non-editable" during template expansion.
