Just thinking out loud...
This is probably not really what you want, but at least somehow related. I would not know how to do this via source-block arguments, but maybe you can use the results of one source-block (that produces the data) as input for another source-block that does the real work. * Heading 1 :match: :PROPERTIES: :ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5a :foo: 5 :bar: puppy :END: * Heading 2 :PROPERTIES: :ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5b :foo: 6 :bar: yuppy :END: * Heading 3 :match: :PROPERTIES: :ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5c :foo: 7 :bar: hippie :END: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results raw (let ((lst)) (org-map-entries (lambda () (cons (org-entry-properties) lst)) "match" 'file)) #+end_src #+results: ((((FILE . /home/tj/News/drafts/drafts/419) (TAGS . :match:) (ALLTAGS . :match:) (BLOCKED . ) (ID . 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5a) (foo . 5) (bar . puppy) (CATEGORY . 419))) (((FILE . /home/tj/News/drafts/drafts/419) (TAGS . :match:) (ALLTAGS . :match:) (BLOCKED . ) (ID . 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5c) (foo . 7) (bar . hippie) (CATEGORY . 419)))) -- cheers, Thorsten
