Specify a credential name - be able to use variables to find the right credentials

Hi,
We use RTS with Royal Server and Delinea Secret Server.
For our Windows Workgroup machines, we have a standard secret name format in the Vault :
MACHINE_NAME\Localadmin
This said, I try to implement this solution that would really simplify our RDP connections management using RTS :
1. Create a dedicated folder
for my Windows Workgroup machines RDP connections.
2. On this folder, configure the credential tab using :
"Specify a credential name" option
with the value "$Name$\Localadmin" (where
$Name$ is the RTS variable that would be used here by each RDP connection to retrieve its
own secret – each with a different random password - created in the Secret
Server)
3. Put my Workgoup machines RDP connections inside this folder, with credential inheritance and… tadaaaaa (not required now to go on each RDP Connection to associate each credential manually).
I tried using custom properties and native variables to achieve this, but it's clear that this option is only considering value as plain text per default (confirmed by RTS support team, requesting me to open this feature request).
If possible, I would go further and request to implement advanced intelligent search options at this credential level, using for example such syntax :
$Name$ + "admin*" (would prompt credentials name containing the $Name$ variable value AND containing "admin" text if multiple objects found, or use directly the secret name if unique).
It's currently possible in Remote Desktop Manager and working great.
I suppose this requires a special syntax to differency plain text and variables at this step.
