Yes. What you are looking for is 'org-hd-marker property. It holds marker to the position of the corresponding headline. Once you know the marker, you can simply (org-entry-get marker "CUSTOM") It does not matter that current buffer is not the Org buffer. Marker contains buffer information. Best, Ihor
