Setting local hostname for PrusaLink?

Is it possible to set a local hostname for the printer, so that it can be accessed as something like http://my-3d-printer.local/ instead of having to look up its current IP address?

I.e. similar how one would setup/access Octoprint.

If I download printer's configuration file under settings in Prusa Connect, I get prusa_printer_settings.ini file. I see hostname in there with default value of prusa-mk4. But it doesn't seem printer is accessible as "prusa-mk4.local", and it doesn't seem it is possible to upload that file back?

On the raspberry pi imager in the settings above network there should be a tick box then a text box next to that . local tick tick box enter something in the text box and enter that instead of IP address

Hmmm... This is for using PrusaLink in mk4. I think Raspberry Pi imager is for setting up Raspberry Pi Zero addon for mk3 series of printers...
