https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/OPTIONS.md lists all 
options of webpack 5.

This is probably the new option

  --output-filename <value>                                             
             Specifies the filename template of output files on disk. 
You must **not** specify an absolute path here, but the path may 
contain folders separated by '/'! The specified path is joined with the 
value of the 'output.path' option to determine the location on disk.
