[O] Use properties in clocktable header?

[Ken Mankoff]

Hello,

I'd like to compute Org clock-tables for a time range, and rather than 
hard-coding :tstart 2025-01-01 :tend 2025-01-31, I'd like to specify these in 
the section PROPERTY drawer. This lets me access these in a {{{macro}}} and use 
them elsewhere on an invoice. Is this possible?

Thanks,

  -k.

It has been -- search the Org Manual for "Matching tags and properties".
In your case, try something like:

("w" "Workday report" tags "@work|@calls|@errands"
 ...
 )

You can also set your context tags to be mutually exclusive (ie. only
one applies to a task) so that you don't have to skip over tags. Look at
org-tag-alist for setting that up.
