Is there a way to pull an images name from an MC that its loaded into?

Say I have a container MC that loads random jpegs and I want to be able to click on the container to get just the current image name and extension. Can you do this?

As usual, 5 minutes after posting I figured out a workaround. When the image loads I also load its name to a hidden dynamic text box that I can access for other uses. It seems to work fine but if anyone knows a better way Im all ears.
