I want to generate a list of figures. This is simple - I use the figure text style and a variable for paratext and paranum. But I would like the list to ALSO mention the name of the chapter in which the figure resides. Can that be be done?

If you mean the file name, you can use the <$relfilename> building block.

Thanks @frameexpert . I believe this will work. I have been trying to figure out whether I could pull in the paratext from the main heading style in each chapter. But no luck, but your solution will also work. Thank you!
