Rename to a mask

(migrating existing issues/tasks from the previously used internal issue tracker)
Rename - is there an easy wildcard rename in place for multiple files? Something like F6 = Move/Rename dialog in old OFM, where you could either input a path (ending with /) to MOVE files or input a wildcard at the end to RENAME files? E.g.:
F6: .txt would rename selected files to txt extension.
F6: /Users/whatever/Documents/New/.txt would move and rename selected files to path and txt extension.
F6: /Users/whatever/Documents/New/*.txt/ would move selected files to path (creating the *.txt/ folder, as the ending / delineates path.
It's great if the batch rename function in Pro supports RegEx or other advanced functionality, but the most often used simple batch rename operations for me require just a wildcard.
