No, this is a script. You can test with

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
setopt TRAPS_ASYNC
echo $$
trap "trap - TERM; kill %1 $$" TERM
xterm
echo end

and type "kill <pid>" with the <pid> output by the script. This
kills both xterm and the script (no "end" output). Without the %1,
xterm isn't killed.

This shows that one can get the associated job of the foreground
command.

Indeed, it doesn't, but %1 works (this was what I actually tried,
and I thought I had tried %% too, which I actually did only with
${jobstates:+%%} I think).
