* Conditional capture template headline based on tag?

My main org file for work is something like so:

#+begin_src org
* Tasks
General tasks here

* Proj 1     :proj1:
** Tasks
** Notes

* Proj 2     :proj2:
** Tasks
** Notes

etc.
#+end_src

Just wondering if a capture template could be setup to file into the
"Tasks" headline (sub-headline) of the matching top level headline
with that tag or something similar?

I suppose I can refile and enter the headline location manually, but
that requires extra work. I thought if I was already entering a tag
for a capture item, perhaps there's some fu that could be used to send
it accordingly. If this isn't possible, what if I re-split my projects
into separate files with a #+filetag. Could it be used to send it to
the right file?

If there are those who do something like this in a different way, I'm
open to suggestions!


Thanks,
John

You could use a function in the capture template for this.

See the info node "Template elements".

As in the expansion elements or defining a custom function for the
=target= element?

Thanks for the suggestion,
John

I'm thinking of this part of org-capture-templates's docstring:

      (function function-finding-location)
         Most general way, write your own function to find both
         file and location

HTH,
