This is what I'm using:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; any headline with level <= 2 is a target
(setq org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 2)
                                ; all top-level headlines in the
                                ; current buffer are used (first) as a
                                ; refile target
                           (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 2)))

;; provide refile targets as paths, including the file name
;; (without directory) as level 1 of the path
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)

;; allow to create new nodes (must be confirmed by the user) as
;; refile targets
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes 'confirm)

;; refile only within the current buffer
(defun my/org-refile-within-current-buffer ()
  "Move the entry at point to another heading in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 5))))
    (org-refile)))
#+end_src

In particular, the file notation allows me to easily refile to any Org file
(from the agenda ones):

    Work.org/Appointments

or

    Perso.org/Appointments

Does this answer your concern, or did I miss your point?

Best regards,
  Seb
