Description

### Brief Issue Summary

I have a build that generates a .map file and would like to create a task to show that map file. "launchTargetBasename" (Launch target file name minus extension) would be perfect for this.

Also: I searched the docs and haven't found a useful workaround. If I've overlooked something, I'd appreciate if you put me in the right direction...

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by locating the existing launch-target variable and task-variable handling in the TypeScript extension; done means launchTargetBasename is available for tasks and resolves to the launch target filename without its extension.
