Thanks for the proposed solution. I have tried it and it didn't work for me. Or
it worked somehow. If it kills the buffer, then the buffer is opened again
right after it is killed, jumping to the last stored position. I think this is
because of the way the 'org-capture-finalize' function is implemented:

...
(cond
 (abort-note
  (cl-case abort-note
    (clean
     (message "Capture process aborted and target buffer cleaned up"))
    (dirty
     (error "Capture process aborted, but target buffer could not be \
ned up correctly"))))
 (stay-with-capture                  ;;    <- this cond is executed
  (org-capture-goto-last-stored)))
...

It seems that the 'org-capture-goto-last-stored' function is called after the
hooks so the buffer is opened again.

This is just my interpretation. I'm not an expert in elisp.
