Interestingly enough, you unwittingly came very close to saying it! It's called a "specifier".
They started using this term in the DSM 5. And you're right, it's an add-on/subtitle to an already existing dx, that specifies symptomatic stuff that is happening during a current episode.
Hope that helps.
