I'm looking for a way to use the string acquired by prompt in a second location in the template, like:
* TODO %^{prompt} [/] :sometag:\n** TODO (value of ^{prompt} comes here) :someothertag:\n
What's the best way to get that "value of ^{prompt}" ?

Check out the docstring of variable `org-capture-templates`.
There is a doc like this:
```
%\1 ... %\N Insert the text entered at the nth %^{prompt}, where N
is a number, starting from 1.
```
Maybe this is what you want?

gives
* TODO stuff [/]
** TODO %^A stuff <date>
Why is that ?

In a string, backslash needs to be escaped: %\\1

That's certainly something to add to the documentation:
%\1 ... %\N Insert the text entered at the Nth %^{prompt}, where N is a number, starting from 1.
Are there cases where %\1 ... %\N would be used *outside* of a string in a template?
