Ahhhh! This does what I expect, but it is not documented. Thanks Johan! That's why I wrote my previous mail? I simply could not figure out, how to achieve that and I did not know about (file "filename"). Where is this in the docs? But, OK, forget it. I now know that I have to use the (file "...") syntax. So this is one of the neccessary patches:
diff --git a/doc/org.texi b/doc/org.texi index f1f894a..e5d0a3b 100644 --- a/doc/org.texi +++ b/doc/org.texi @@ -6109,7 +6109,9 @@ file and location. The template for creating the capture item.

Still, as I said in my previous mail, the way "%[FILE]" and "%(SEXP)" work is not quite right and the docs are still incomplete. Best wishes Sebastian
