Basic things like the name of the target, input/output file names would be really useful.

"Would be really useful" doesn't explain how it would be useful.

the output filenames are already available -- see the .full_path() method
the input filenames are already encoded in your meson.build files as arguments to custom_target() and serve no use case after the target was created
the "name" of the target is meaningless as it's only used for display purposes

Can you give an example of where you would use information that isn't currently available?
