Find snapshot filename using VboxManage

Virtual Media Manager can tell me the filename and size of the file backing a particular snapshot.
How would I get this info using VboxManage commands?
The best I can come up with is:

Find the snapshot UUID in the output of vboxmanage snapshot <vmname> list
vboxmanage <vmname> showvminfo <snapshotUUID> and find the line with the filename on it. In my example, it is the SATA 0, 0 line, but I see that other storage types could be something else. Maybe it would be better to search for "vmname/Snapshots/"?
Use native file info commands to find the size of the snapshot file

Can you suggest any shortcuts?
Thanks for the advice.
