Thats fun!
From the info manual on capture templates
to google "org capture "entry (function"" which led
to the mailing list archive (Thread start: http://tinyurl.com/3fj25gq)
to the git log:

What a round trip :).

A quick test suggests this should do:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("w"
"*TEST*: entry function currentfile"
entry
(file+headline (buffer-file-name) "Notes")
"* Eintrag")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This should file your capture item "* Eintrag" under the Node "* Notes"
in the buffer you called capture from.

Is that what you had in mind?

Yes - exactly that.

Now if this could go into the documentation of org-capture, that would be great.

Thanks a lot,

Rainer
