specify tab display string -- other than display filename -- on "open_display"

We're working on using auto-converted screens (from MEDM adl sources) for displays at our beamlines. Most things are working well, and the ability to organize screens by tabs is a great benefit. But, we have many re-usable screens that we embed in displays that use macros. These might end up (in "bob" format) as

<action type="open_display">
   <file>4motors.opi</file><macros><M1>m1</M1><M2>m3</M2><M3>m5</M3><M4>mxd3</M4><P>13XX:</P>. 
    <TITLE>Motors for Thing</TITLE></macros>
    <target>tab></target>
   <description>Motors for Thing</description>
</action>

This opens a new Tab in Phoebus with a tag of "4motors" - the name of the file. If re-using these screens, that describes the file used, but not the content, and we might end up with a display with 8 "4 motors" displays. For sure, it could be worse, but maybe it could be better ;).

Is there a way to specify what that Tab Title should be, perhaps in the "" section? Sometimes "Motor for Thing" would be ideal, but I can also see that defaulting to a long description might be non-ideal.

The "name" of the display is what's shown in the tab.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<display version="2.0.0">
  <name>Main</name>

You can edit it by selecting and thus viewing/editing the properties of the display itself.
You may include macros, like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<display version="2.0.0">
  <name>Motors $(M1) to $(M4)</name>

@kasemir Thanks -- that is an interesting idea to make "name" contain a macro.

That is another good incentive to migrate from display screens that have been auto-translated from adl screens.
