Accessing the event path of any fired event of many event types when watching files in Gulp

With Gulp, you can access the path of a fired event by using the watch().on() method for each event type:

const { watch } = require('gulp');

watch('*.js').on('change', (path, stats) => {
  console.log(`File ${path} was changed`);
});

watch('*.js').on('add', (path, stats) => {
  console.log(`File ${path} was added`);
});

You can also watch for multiple event types using the events option, but you don't get access to the path of a fired event:

watch('*.js', { events: ['change', 'add'] }, cb => {
  // body omitted
  cb();
});

Is there a way to access the path of a fired event from a single anonymous handler when watching for multiple event types?
