Sure. That somewhere can be buffer-local variable inside the capture
menu buffer. Or global variable. Or closure. How is it relevant to the
capture menu?

Of course, using global variables will limit things to a single capture,
but it just means that if a user starts capture, leaves the capture menu
buffer, and then starts another capture, only the last capture will be
handled. Just like we have now.

Best,
