The following example might help you understand.  It's cut and paste
from a customize buffer for org-capture-templates.

With this customization one can use the keys x t p to get to the "tree poem"
capture.  (Tree and poem is completely artificial.)  And in the same way x t n
brings up the capture for "tree new".
