I'm not actively using this but I had it configured and just tested that

This should all be possible.

Capturing the selection works.
Sample capture templates:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("p" "Protocol" entry (file+headline ,(concat my-org-dir "inbox.org") "Inbox")
"* %^{Title}\nSource: %u, %c\n #+BEGIN_QUOTE\n%i\n#+END_QUOTE\n\n\n%?")
("L" "Protocol Link" entry (file+headline ,(concat my-org-dir "inbox.org") "Inbox")
"* %? [[%:link][%:description]] \nCaptured On: %U")
#+end_src

I'm using this one instead.
Extension: https://github.com/Stebalien/org-capture-extension

PS:
I had also used this in the past. If you're willing to have a local
python script listening on a port instead of using org-protocol,
it might be an alternative.
