Subject: Capture template -- Global replacement of prompt string in buffer?

I'm not sure (because I didn't understand what was going on) if this is the
same question that Sebastian Fischmeister  asked earlier ("Custom escapes &
the evaluation order in fill-template"), but is it possible to construct a
capture template using something like the %{prompt} that replaces _all_
occurrences of the prompt string throughout the capture buffer,  rather
than just at the insertion point of the escape expression?

I want to do something like this:
-----------8<--------------------------------
("p" "phone log" entry (file+datetree org-phone-log)
"* %^{Organization} - %^{First Name} %^{Last Name}
:PROPERTIES:
:FIRST_NAME: {First Name}
:LAST_NAME: {Last Name}
:ORG: {Organization}
:END:

usw.
-----------8<--------------------------------

where the value entered in response to {First Name} gets globally
substituted in two or more places in the template.

Can this be done?

tnx,
maab
