Maybe not what you are looking for, but you could handle the assembly of
the filename within your code block.
Something like:
#+HEADER: :var year=2011 :session *r* :results file
#+begin_src R
filename <- paste0("time-elapsed-", year, ".pdf")
pdf(filename)
## your code
dev.off()
filename
#+end_src

Andreas
