Brief Issue Summary
Should there be launchTargetName and getLaunchTargetName in command substitutions also?
Though there are launchTargetFilename and getLaunchTargetFilename, they have the suffix .exe on Windows.

Research direction
Start with the command substitution section in docs/cmake-settings.md and compare the existing launchTargetFilename and getLaunchTargetFilename behavior, including the Windows .exe suffix. Trace where these substitutions are defined and add the corresponding name variants; done when the new substitutions are documented and return target names without the suffix.
