The provided example looks promising.

I got another software development concern for such an use case.
* Can it eventually happen that dependencies will not be resolved if target
names
do not contain the percent character?
* Should the determination of prefixes and suffixes just work here?
* Can another link help in the section “How patterns match” of the
documentation?

I am also interested in data processing for several fields from targets
(and not only a single “%” as the usual placeholder).
Will it make sense to capture any more data into corresponding variables?
Regards,
Markus
