Retaining polygon feature attributes in points randomly generated within using QGIS

Question

How do I  retain polygon feature attributes in random points generated within these polygons using QGIS?
Like Generating random points inside polygons that capture values from multiple attribute fields, I found that QGIS 3.14 "Random Points inside Polygons" tool does not retain any attributes from the polygon features.

For built-in solution, you need to wait for QGIS 3.16 because of this PR https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/35745 (C++ implementation)
I've already made an addition to existing Python processing script as mentioned in QGIS Random Points in Polygon PRESERVING Attribute Table? for this intent (PS: stop using it when QGIS 3.16 will land). Only useful to avoid waiting.
