Currently I have enabled core dumps by editing /etc/limits.conf and addig * soft core unlimited as well as using ulimit -c unlimited.

But the core_pattern is this:

kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %P

So the core is transmitted to apport. I don't mind, and I don't want to mess with apport (I have a memory of something going wrong once when doing so), moreover apport nicely generates a core file in the directory of my binary when it crashes.

Is there any way to edit the location where apport saves the core, or its file name (instead of a simple core)? Similar to what I could do by disabling apport and editing the core_pattern, but without disabling apport.
