Can you elaborate your use case?

If your use case allows for it you could delegate getting the file name 
to generation time (which is when the final file name is decided).
e.g. $<TARGET_FILE_NAME:target> [1] would expand to the file name 
(without path) of the given target  in the context of e.g. 
add_custom_command() commands.
