[Thunar-dev] Using %-style formatting in Thunar custom actions

Good day everyone,
I've got a quick question regarding Thunar's custom actions!
I've made an action to split audio files using shnsplit -- pretty easy:
shnsplit -f %f -t "%n. %t" -o flac %d/$(basename %f .cue).flac
However, the formatting following the -t option is meant for shnsplit, not Thunar! Which means %n gets expanded into the file name.
I've also tried using just %t, which is not used by Thunar, and that also breaks it. Perhaps it gets expanded into nothing.
Is it impossible to give certain programs %-style formatting via custom actions?
I've tried escaping using "\", to no avail.
Thank you very much,
