current subfolder variable for tasks.json

How can i use the current folder name in tasks.json using VSCODE ? related to the following variables-reference

example of file path: /home/your-username/your-project/folder/subfolder/file.ext i want to get only the subfolder name.

there is a predefined variable called ${activeFolderShort} in the following documentation for window title settings. but it's not working in tasks.json file.

here is my task code:

{
        "label": "reload",
        "windows": {
            "command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe"
        },
        "args": [
            "http://localhost:52945/${activeFolderShort}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
        ],
        "problemMatcher": []
    }

You can use the extension Command Variable

Use the variable

${command:extension.commandvariable.file.fileDirBasename}
