Strategy alert to output 'open' or 'close'

I have a pine script strategy, which does simple buy/sell orders using:

strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, when = cond1)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short, when = cond2)
strategy.close("Long", when = cond3)
strategy.exit(id="TrailStop", stop=shortStopPrice)

Now I am setting up a Tradingview alert which needs to output specific information.

I can output buy or sell using {{strategy.order.action}}, but I also need to output the words close or open. Do you know how I can get this value in the alert message box? Does it exist in some sort of standard variable of strategy? Or can I assign it in the script and call it in the alert box?

Update: based on the answer of bjorn-mistiaen, I added a comment. It works fine for .entry and .exit, but not for .close:

strategy.close(id = "Long", when = cond3, comment="test")

returns:

Hoovering the function shows me that comment is a valid argument though. I don't really understand the debug error message.

You could try to use {{strategy.order.comment}}

This returns the comment of the executed order (the string used in the comment parameter in one of the function calls generating orders: strategy.entry, strategy.exit or strategy.order). If no comment is specified, then the value of strategy.order.id will be used.

Source: How to use a variable value in alert

That comment is a parameter in strategy.entry() which you could give the strings open and close.

strategy.entry(id, long, qty, limit, stop, oca_name, oca_type, comment, when, alert_message)
