Shell command placeholders in registry

In the registry, for example in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell, we have a set of registered handlers for the context menu.

These handlers are commands that should be executed when the menu is selected. Commands can also be found in other sections of the registry. When registering such commands in different sections of the registry, different placeholders are used, such as: %1, %V and %v.

My question is, where can I get a complete list of all possible placeholders, along with information about what each placeholder means, and whether there can be several placeholders in one command?

Eventually, I want to get a function in C++ that would be similar to std::sprintf() but only for these placeholders.
