Would it be possible to add something like this to the
"org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo" interface?

possibly with a list of properties to select from:
org-fast-tag-selection-include-properties '(("EFFORT_All"  ?e)
                                                           ("FOCUS_All"  ?f))

So to select effort of "0:20" i'd type "e 2" or similar?

Tim.
