The generic(5) document lists all the lookup keys used with a given
address. You need a table that returns the desired value given one
of those lookup keys. Postfix has lots of different table types
you can use.

The list of LHS lookup keys is documented in generic(5). "@" is not
among them.

All recipient addresses will also match any global wildcard, so you'll
never be able to address any email to someone other then the single
wildcard rewrite recipient. If that works for you, go for it.
