To the best of my knowledge this is incorrect.  org-capture-templates
supports a function target cf. the docstring.

       (function function-finding-location)
          Most general way, write your own function to find both
          file and location

I haven’t used this, and you may have to Use The Source, to figure how the
functions is supposed to work.  Here’s an example of a file+function
target:

("j" "article" item 
           (file+function "~/documents/papers.org"
                          (lambda ()
                            (org-goto-local-search-headings
                             (ido-completing-read
                              "File note to: "
                              (org-element-map
                                  (org-element-parse-buffer)
                                  'headline
                                (lambda (hl)
                                  (and (= (org-element-property :level hl) 1)
                                       (org-element-property :title hl)))))
                             nil nil)
                            (forward-line 1)
                            (insert "\n"))
            :prepend t
            :empty-lines-after 1)
           "%U: %?\n")

As you prefer; IMO it’s over-complicating.

I see the same.  Something funky is going on, though I’m not sure what.
Try to put it into a function and run it through edebug.  Then it works...

As you suggests, this probably has something to do with invisibility of
the link...  I don’t have a satisfactory answer to this.

Yeah.  Org return is magic in headlines (TODOs and tags are preserved
since 8.3 I think) and tables.
