Is it possible to use with\_first\_found in a with\_items loop? Such as;

```auto
- template:
dest=/foo/{{ item.name }}-{{ item.branch | default('master') }}
src={{ item }}
with_first_found:
- {{ item.name }}-{{ item.branch | default('master') }}
- {{ item.name }}.j2
- apache_site.j2
with_items: apache_sites

```

Can’t seem to make it work using with\_nested

Many thanks!
