I couldn't really tell what the OP requested, but if it is indeed
storing the capture in the current file, the answer is "that can be
done". AFAIK, it's not documented anywhere except on the mailing list
though - see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35759/focus=35781
Something like this (untested):
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
("X" "test" entry (file+headline (buffer-file-name (org-capture-get
:original-buffer)) "Tasks") "* TODO %?
%U %a %n" :prepend t)))

It's not quite a capture (no indirect buffer, no finalize) but that hardly matters. And perhaps it also does what Samuel Wales asked about, since the template can be inserted anywhere at all.

I added this in 9.1.2: To insert the capture at point in an Org buffer, call @code{org-capture} with a @code{C-0} prefix argument.
