Well what comes probably closest to your questions would be Lessions 7 and 8 of his masterclass from
https://www.masterclass.com
it is quite expensive (I think either 99$ for only Hans Zimmer and lifetime access or 150$ per year to access all Classes available).
Part 8 is about him creating synth sounds with Zebra2, isn't really sampling but it is interesting how he approaches his synth sounddesign for anyone who is interested in this stuff.
Lesson 7 I find really interesting because he "shows" his samples (like playing a little with them; not actually shows any program or so). He talks about the musicians he recorded and why it is so great for him to have these players just one key away...
He goes also a little into how to use samples and sounds for specific purposes and how he comes up with/creates these sounds. As well as his promise not to replace real musicians with samples for the final result.
Thats the shortest summary possible as it is a 18 min video full of HZ talking
.
Mainly it was aimed at a movie where the directors didn't want an orchestra but a aggressive band or something like that. By using samples and writing an orchestral track on his computer he was able to convince them that it would be the better fit for the film and the emotional language needed.
Guess it is the same how HZ sees it...
Everything else might be HZ's secrets... but the only person to answer these things would probably be @Rctec himself...
Also quite interesting and a lot of talk about samples, musicians and recording is this (found it actually funny and "honoring" that the composer of the worlds best TV Show [being GoT and Ramin Djawadi] imho is german too

.I'm not sure it was HZ himself, but I remember from another interview or video with a composer that samples have proven for him to be unbelievably helpful with directors and producers because he can show them something and by that convince them that a certain music style or so is needed.
