I don't think there is such an option...

As a workaround you can simply temporarly select the background layer (or a layer with a short name) of the actual file.

This is not obvious unless you are a well-informed user. Also this is bad UX. If you open an existing document, the tab should have the title of the document not the selected layers; in fact new layers should not take on the name of the content of those layers, since, like the user pointed out, those content blocks could be long. If the document is being created inside PS, the title of the doc shold be 'NEW'+ template pattern.
