Description
Is it possible to access the latest release version? The previous tag and previous version seems to always refers back to the previous, obviously, tag for the specific branch. But is it a way to get the latest release version?
Example:
* I have version v1.0.1
* I create a new feature and get the tag v1.0.2-feature-changelog.0, make another commit and gets v1.0.2-feature-changelog.1
* v1.0.2-feature-changelog.1 to v1.0.1. Is v1.0.1 available anywhere or do I need to calulate it myself?

Research direction
Start by reading the repository's existing tag and version handling, focusing on how previous and current tags are determined. Trace the GitHub Action entry point and identify how the latest release version could be exposed; done means the example can retrieve v1.0.1 from the feature-tag sequence without calculating it externally.
