Need easy way to retain Photos image name as filename when drag and drop to Finder

I want to drag and drop photos from Photos to the Finder and have the image filename be the same as the name in Photos.

I spend too much time renaming photos when I've already given the images titles in Photos. I use the Finder as a file system and often want to have reference images readily available with the other relevant information in the Finder.

Can we get a key combination to use during drag and drop to name the resulting files with the title assigned in Photos?

The only way to get what you want is to export the photo to the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new file name selected:
