Ihor, magic is impossible. If several captures may be requested in 
parallel then snapshot of data required to fill capture template should 
be stored somewhere at the moment when capture is initiated. Otherwise 
the user may kill the buffer she is going to capture before selecting 
particular template.

There are enough side band communication channels in Org. I did not 
remember a variable from which properties are obtained. Before I have 
realized that it is `org-store-link-plist', I noticed at least 
`org-overriding-default-time', `org-capture-initial'. Unsure that the 
list is complete.
