Description

Suggestion to also add an option for the owner's/actor's display name, not only the owner's/actor's user id (%o and %a). Sometimes, the user-ids are rather technical and not suitable to reference in a script.

Research direction

The issue names the existing %o and %a placeholders but provides no file or test location. Start by locating their implementation and any related placeholder tests, then determine how an owner's or actor's display name should be exposed as an option. Done means scripts can reference the display name in addition to the existing user ID values.
