Cover Blueprint how to make destination in KNX work with appended text?

Iā€™m trying to make a blueprint for controlling Somfy curtains from the KNX installation, first i created a simple automation that took the knx_event and controlled the curtains i added via the Overkiz integration. That worked like a charm, but i wanted to create a blueprint (first time :smiley: ) and followed the steps in the guide here.
Everything is working out and now i want to be able to change the last part of the destination address via the blueprint (i created main group 9 with mid group 0 being open/close, 1 being stop and 2 position, the last group is the cover itself. So 9/0/0 would be open/close bedroom and 9/0/1 would be open/close living room)

My code so far:

blueprint:
  name: Gordijnen
  domain: automation
  input:
    gordijn.entity: 
      name: Gordijn
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: cover
    knx.address:
      name: KNX address
      selector:
        text:

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: knx_event
    event_data:
      destination: 9/0/0
      data: 0
    id: Open
  - platform: event
    event_type: knx_event
    event_data:
      destination: 9/0/0
      data: 1
    id: Dicht
  - platform: event
    event_type: knx_event
    event_data:
      destination: 9/1/0
    id: Stop
  - platform: event
    event_type: knx_event
    event_data:
      destination: 9/2/0
    id: Percentage
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Open
        sequence:
          - service: cover.open_cover
            data: {}
            target:
              entity_id: !input gordijn.entity
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Dicht
        sequence:
          - service: cover.close_cover
            data: {}
            target:
              entity_id: !input gordijn.entity
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Stop
        sequence:
          - service: cover.stop_cover
            data: {}
            target:
              entity_id: !input gordijn.entity
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: Percentage
        sequence:
          - service: cover.set_cover_position
            data:
              position: "{{ trigger.event.data.value }}"
            target:
              entity_id: !input gordijn.entity

I want to be able to change the last part: destination: 9/0/0 so the 0 at the end would be whatever knx.address is. Is there a way to append that? or do i need todo something completely different?

After all, ā€œ9/0/1ā€ is just a string, so you should be able to use a template doing string concatenation.
Iā€™d say it could be more universal (for use by other people) if you just assign additional inputs so your logic is not coupled to your specific GA schema.

At the moment i decided just that. Each of the states has its own input now.
So i have to fill out the entity and the 3 addresses. Since other projects may have other group numbers.
