Determine plugin name from within plugin_action_links filter

Is there any way to determine what plugin the plugin_action_links filter is addressing when it processes the filter?

I’m trying to add some actions for each plugin on the /wp-admin/plugins.php page. Code looks as so:

public function _add_plugin_links(){
    $plugins = get_plugins();
    foreach($plugins as $k=>$plugin){
        add_filter( 'plugin_action_links_' . $k, array(&$this, '_plugin_action_links') );
    } // foreach $plugins
}

public function _plugin_action_links( $links ) {
   $plugin = 'test'; // Somehow get plugin name here?
   $links[] = 'Plugin name is: '.$plugin;
   return $links;
}

I am able to append this text to the end of each plugin link list, but cannot determine exactly which plugin I am adding the text to. Adding a global variable from within _add_plugin_links() simply returns the very last plugin that is parsed from the plugins list.

  1. There are currently four filters and they carry lots of information:

    $prefix = $screen->in_admin( 'network' ) ? 'network_admin_' : '';
    $actions = apply_filters( $prefix . 'plugin_action_links', array_filter( $actions ), $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context );
    $actions = apply_filters( $prefix . "plugin_action_links_$plugin_file", $actions, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context );
    

    This is a var dump of the parameters for Advanced Custom Fields:

    Array
    (
        [0] => Array
            (
                [activate] => <a href="plugins.php?action=activate&amp;plugin=advanced-custom-fields%2Facf.php&amp;plugin_status=all&amp;paged=1&amp;s&amp;_wpnonce=62d37299ca" title="Activate this plugin for all sites in this network" class="edit">Network Activate</a>
                [edit] => <a href="plugin-editor.php?file=advanced-custom-fields/acf.php" title="Open this file in the Plugin Editor" class="edit">Edit</a>
                [delete] => <a href="plugins.php?action=delete-selected&amp;checked%5B0%5D=advanced-custom-fields%2Facf.php&amp;plugin_status=all&amp;paged=1&amp;s&amp;_wpnonce=b7f1cf2b36" title="Delete this plugin" class="delete">Delete</a>
            )
        [1] => advanced-custom-fields/acf.php
        [2] => Array
            (
                [Name] => Advanced Custom Fields
                [PluginURI] => http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/
                [Version] => 4.2.2

                [TextDomain] => 
                [DomainPath] => 
                [Network] => 
                [Title] => Advanced Custom Fields
                [AuthorName] => Elliot Condon
            )
        [3] => all
    )
    

    You could use the bare plugin_actions_link and detect the plugin file, but it’s easier with the second. Example adding an Action Link to ACF in wp-admin/network/plugins.php:

    add_filter( 'network_admin_plugin_action_links_advanced-custom-fields/acf.php', function( $actions, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context )
    {
        $actions['hello'] = 'Hello worlds!';
        return $actions;
    }, 10, 4 );
    

    Another filter of interest: plugin_row_meta.
