Just to follow up to my own post I now see a ginle function call will
work e.g

              ("vocab"?v "* Learn TODO %(rgr/orig-word)
              
:VOCAB:\n:PROPERTIES:\n:orig:\t%(rgr/orig-word)\n:trans:\t%(rgr/trans-word)\n:END:%!"
              nil bottom nil)

Possibly me not knowing enough elisp but possibly also could support my
initial attempt? Thanks for any explanation.
