Description

Currently, searching to find where to extend an entry is quite crude. It would be better to find the start and end of the entry/section/etc. and insert the extension at the end of that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the current range searching logic in capture.vim and then implement a function to find the exact boundaries of an entry (e.g., using pattern matching or file structure) and append the extension at the end of the entry.
