❔ It it possible to get name of attribute without reflection?

I have following:

public class Book
{
    [CustomAttribute]
    public string Name
    {
        get; private set; 
    }
}

public class Book
{
    [CustomAttribute]
    public string Name
    {
        get; private set; 
    }
}

is it possible to get the name of CustomAttribute? with type.GetCustomAttribute?

typeof(CustomAttribute).Name maybe? Besides that, no, attributes are made to be used with reflections and sourcegen
