How do I get the name of the track a device is on in Max for Live

How do I get the name of a track (MIDI, instrument, or audio) in a message? So if the channel in Ableton is named "Diva 05" or whatever, and I have a M4L audio effect, how can I get that as a message in my Max patch? Seems simple but I can't find a way in the Live API. Only can find "track id"

Hey!

I think this is a reliable way to get the name of a track with constant listening (realtime update) of changes of the track's name using live.observer from Live API objects library.
