I couldn't really tell what the OP requested, but if it is indeed
storing the capture in the current file, the answer is "that can be
done".  AFAIK, it's not documented anywhere except on the mailing list
though - see

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35759/focus=35781

Something like this (untested):

(setq org-capture-templates
'(                   
  ("X" "test" entry (file+headline (buffer-file-name (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) "Tasks") "* TODO %?
  %U %a %n" :prepend t)))
