I'm not sure that backquotes will do what the OP wants. Backquotes will
allow the OP to compute the value of a target file at the time the (setq
org-capture templates ...) form is evaluated. The OP needs a way to
determine the target file at the time of capture (right?), not at the
time the variable is set.
Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions on how to hack that. If the
target of most captures can be determined based on their type, maybe you
can just use the refile mechanism (C-c C-w instead of C-c C-c) to
manually handle the exceptions. If not, maybe look into wrapping
or replacing org-capture-refile somehow.
Best,
Richard
