Indeed org-collector has allowed me to extract properties into a table, and even without much knowledge of lisp (for the conditions) the results were promising.

While I have the table from org-collector I do not know how to "easily pass it to code blocks". I have an (untested) idea that if #+tblname preceded the table from org-collector, then a babel source block could operate on it. If this works then almost all is well and good, except for the small detail of getting the #+tblname automatically from the org-collector process.
Thank you for the response,
