It's hardwired in C at src/command/scorelayout.c

  gchar *default_tagline = g_strdup_printf ("tagline = \\markup {\"%s\"
on \\simple #(strftime \"%%x\" (localtime (current-time)))}\n",
escaped_name);
  
from which I see that the LilyPond syntax is

"tagline = \\markup {\"myscore.denemo\" on \\simple #(strftime \"%x\"
(localtime (current-time)))}"

No, it is all quite undeveloped. It would be quite possible to improve
this in Scheme
(using (RadioBoxMenu ...) etc)
but for your own purposes you can simply insert the syntax you want,
e.g. by executing:

(d-DirectivePut-scoreheader-postfix "mytag" (string-append "tagline =
\\markup {\""
        (d-GetFilename) "\" on \\simple #(strftime \"%x\" (localtime
(current-time)))}"))
    
You would need to insert that directive after the titles that set
tagline = ##f so that it
overrides it. (Or there is a directive re-ordering command IIRC)

Let me know if you need any help with this.
