Can TV episode name be included in file name?

I noticed that another ripper (fab) includes episode names in the output files when ripping disks of TV series. Is it possible to fiddle with MakeMKV's output file template to get it to do something similar?

Not automatically. I usually include the episode in the ripped file name my self, but it's simply editing the filename attribute in the pull-down before ripping. Set the template with the first entry highlighted (essentially the disk name), then move down the "stack" and add the episode number to what is already there. Then, I go back and switch to the "filename" attribute, and do the same, so they match (no underscores and such).
Getting fancy is adding episode titles, like for "STTNG S01 E04 The Last Outpost.mkv" or "STTNG S01 E06 Lonely Among Us.mkv". But that's all manual.
