Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a way to draw property values directly into a babel block, the way you can with table data. Sort of like: * Heading :PROPERTIES: :ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5a :foo: 5 :bar: puppy :END: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var alist=3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5a And in the block, the "alist" variable would look like '(:foo 5 :bar "puppy"). What would be even better would be to run a tags search on matching headlines and feed all property drawers into a single block, as a list of alists. Just thinking out loud... E
