Fair enough, I just wanted to make sure you knew about that variable. (As I told, I wasn't aware of it until recently. And the only reason I learned about it, btw, was the thought "something like this /should/ be possible", and it's Org-mode, after all, so obviously it was. Notice that your proposed solution (while reasonable from the point of view of how C-c C-y works) might be cumbersome – you'd need to go to the place where you have the :LOGBOOK: drawer, open it, move to the first line and hit C-c C-y. A faster way to get the same information might be C-c C-x C-o [the info you wanted gets displayed in the echo area] C-u C-c C-x C-i 1 if you don't mind splitting the clocking line in :LOGBOOK: into two. (AFAIU, you also run into the risk of dropping one minute of clocking time if you happen to do this at hh:mm:59 or something.)
