Hi Matt,
I found a solution for this, which I am using with my (still in
development) setup for exporting from org-mode to LeanPub. I found a
function for extracting document global properties at
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/21715, which you could use to support
your first example. After defining =org-global-prop-value=, you could call
it like this:
(org-global-prop-value "ORG_LMS_COURSE")
You can see my setup, including the two functions, here:
https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#publishing-to-leanpub
Hope this helps!
