That is neat, but not quite what I had in mind. I have a roster of headlines, one for each student in a course. The file is tagged with #+FILETAGS: course_name
During a semester, students drop, and I have tried a few different models to designate that, e.g. move the headline to an archived headline, or tagging them as :dropped:. I use this file like a database to generate lists of students, emails, etc... but I want to exclude dropped students from that list. I can use this as a "query" to org-map-entries +course_name-dropped but it seems like the best idea is to just archive the headline to another file or delete the headline.
