Possibly this could be done by checking for the symbol 'currentfile in org-capture-target-buffer, and using (buffer-file-name). Do you think that would work?

RE: [Orgmode] using (id Name) target in org-capture-templates
Thanks for the note. I did indeed mean to use headings. I think it would be nice to be able to have the file dynamic but the heading static in capture templates. In my case, I always want to find a particular heading in the buffer that the capture originated from. So I had to put the whole target spec in a function, as in: (setq org-capture-templates `((t Todo (local) entry (function (lambda () (set-buffer (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) (let ((hd Tasks)) (goto-char (point-min)) (if (re-search-forward (format org-complex-heading-regexp-format (regexp-quote hd)) nil t) (beginning-of-line 2) (goto-char (point-max)) (or (bolp) (insert \n)) (insert * hd \n) (beginning-of-line 0) ... most of which is copied from the file+heading case in org-capture.el What I'd like to be able to write in an org-capture-template is something like: (setq org-capture-templates `((t Todo (local) entry (function+heading (lambda () (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) Tasks)) ... Where the function sets the buffer, but org machinery is used to match the heading. Another idiom would be to allow a string-returning function wherever a string is currently allowed for the file target, so the above would be instead: (setq org-capture-templates `((t Todo (local) entry (file+heading (lambda () (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) Tasks)) ... The last is my preferred, as it would apply to all of the file+headline, file+olp, file+regexp, etc. target specifications in allowed for org-capture-templates.
