If you can manually create your report (even if it is tedious) then it
should be possible to automate most of it. This is Emacs after all -
you can program it to do whatever you need it to do.
It should be possible to write code that walks your agenda, visits the
tasks, and copies and pastes the details to a temporary org buffer/file
just for your chronological report.
I have no idea what that code would look like though... it depends on
how often you require this weekly report if writing that code would be
worth it or not.

Bernt
