C-h v org-capture-templates RET

The template defines the text to be inserted. Often this is an org-mode
entry (so the first line should start with a star) that will be filed as a
child of the target headline. It can also be freely formatted text.
Furthermore, the following %-escapes will be replaced with content:
...
%a annotation, normally the link created with `org-store-link'
...
So %a inserts the link.
However, for your function to work properly you need to percent escape
the slashes in /path/to/file as org capture uses the slash to separate
the different link components.
"Percent escaping" is the same es "URL Encoding", e.g. there should be
something for your shell and/or preferred application to fire capture.
