Couldn't one do this in scheme alone?

I don't know how to retrieve bookOutputName after it is set, but maybe
setting it independently like:

#(define mytitle "mytitle")

\book {
  \header {
    title = #mytitle
  }
  \bookOutputName #(string-append "sub/" mytitle)
  \score {
    c'4
  }
}

But if there is a way to use fromproperty in scheme, I can't figure it out.
