Change title and export filename based on code value?

Change title and export filename based on code value?

I'd like to change the title of my report, and the exported pdf filename,
based on a value I can change in the org-mode source.

I have a source block like this:

#+NAME: reporttype
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :results value silent :exports results
"Foo"
#+END_SRC

I figured out how to do the title:

#+TITLE My Report: call_reporttype()[:results raw] Results

which is pretty neat (but wasn't easy to figure out, I'll work on that in
the doc).

...but I'd also like to set the exported PDF filename based on the
reporttype, but I'm not sure there is an option for that.  Is there?  And
if there is, is there a way to interpolate my reporttype into it?

Using a macro is another option:

  #+MACRO: my-title Foo
  #+TITLE: My Report: {{{my-title}}} Results

No there isn't. Org expects the produced file to sit in the same
directory with a similar name.

You have to rename it yourself after the export.

As Nicolas says, there is no support for this.
But if you are exporting specific subtrees, you can give export file names for subtrees using the EXPORT_FILE_NAME property.
