That is a great idea! In general, I find Org-mode to be lacking APIs.
I'dlove to build some applications on top of it, but getting some
information is very difficult. (For instance, I'd like to get info
about clocks for all headlines in the agenda. It seems I have to
implement parsing clocks myself, at least partially.)
