Linked Files by Extension & Name Segment

It would be good if renaming linked files by extension could be limited by the Name Segment setting.

e.g.
Film Name (2024).mkv
Film Name (2024).English.srt

If I link SRT to MKV and make changes to the MKV name, it won't affect the SRT file because they are not named exactly the same. It would be good if setting the name segment To field to ")" would limit the linked matching to that character.

Hi, I'm not sure if using the File Segment is the best approach—linking through it might interfere with other renaming criteria.... Maybe this should be a setting within the linking configuration itself instead?

Yes, maybe a "Limit match to" field.
