Solution for inserting a filename to a buffer using recursive fuzzy search? (alien.top)

Is there a solution for inserting a filename to a buffer (either to a normal buffer, or to the minibuffer) using a recursive fuzzy search, using the vertico + consult + corfu + cape ecosystem? Something like what consult-file does, but instead of opening the selected file, insert the path of it to a buffer.

We have cape-file, but it doesn't fuzzy search in a recursive way.

I feel like if I understood embark it would do that.

It does do that. If you have embark-act bound to C-., then C-. i inserts the current minibuffer completion candidate into the buffer from which you ran the command that opened the minibuffer.
