Prompting in the templates happens after the template is placed in the
target buffer. So AFAIK there is no way to achive this without a
little bit hacking: You could specify a target function
target Specification of where the captured item should be placed.
In Org-mode files, targets usually define a node. Entries will
become children of this node, other types will be added to the
table or list in the body of this node.
Most target specifications contain a file name. If that file
name is the empty string, it defaults to `org-default-notes-file'.
A file can also be given as a variable, function, or Emacs Lisp
form.
...
(function function-finding-location)
Most general way, write your own function to find both
file and location
That could read the target file name with a prompt.

Same here. The function `org-heading-components' (C-h f
org-heading-components RET) will get you the title of the headline
which you would have to transform to a valid file name
(i.e. `replace-regexp-in-string').
