Capture hooks should be the right place to do what your want. I recommend org-capture-before-finalize-hook since it will not run if you abort the capture for any reason. Otherwise, you may attach the file, abort capture (via C-c C-k or because of some error), and your attached file will hang somewhere unreferenced.

I recommend using doct [1] with :before-finalize keyword. It will take care that your function runs for the right template.

You are right, template expansion is done in separate "*Capture*" buffer using org-capture-fill-template. The buffer is not associated with any file. Best, Ihor
