Similar to what I thought. Put things in a file, thun capture from there.
One would not need to write long entries to the org file, but simply go through
the possibilities, then insert in capture org file.

Would that apply with respect to inserting long headings or descriptions
in org file?
Example:
;; "Site_SubType:
;; [1a] Settlement > Encampment
;; [1a] Settlement > Hamlet or Village
;; [1a] Settlement > Town or City
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Brush Structure
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Cave
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > House
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > House Mound
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Wattle & Daub (Jacal) Structure
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Long House
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Pit House / Earth Lodge
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Room Block / Compound / Pueblo
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Rock Shelter
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Shade Structure / Ramada
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Tent Ring / Tipi Ring
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Platform Mound
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Shell Mound
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Wigwam / Wetu
;; [1b] Domestic Structure > Plank House"
