I use this ad hoc implementation:


(defun hmw/org-export (&optional level)
  "Go up to a section of level `level', if there is any, and then call `org-export-dispatch'. `level' defaults to 1."
  (interactive)
  (unless level (setq level 1))
  (save-excursion
  (while (< level (or (org-up-heading-safe) -1)))
  (if (org-at-heading-p)
      (org-export-dispatch))))


That hack could be optimised, but works for me ;).


Regards
hmw
