One (pedestrian) way to achieve it, with this function:

(defun my-org/export-to-path (backend export-path extension)
  (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'keyword
    (lambda (k)
      (when (string= (org-element-property :key k) "EXPORT_FILE_NAME")
        (let ((value (org-element-property :value k)))
          (org-export-to-file backend
              (format
               "%s%s.%s"
               export-path
               value extension)))))))

And then you could evaluate it inside a block in your document, with the
chosen arguments. For example:

#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: myfile

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none :eval never-export :results silent
  (my-org/export-to-path 'html "~/Desktop/" "html")
#+end_src

Best regards,
