Message-ID: <SJ0PR03MB54550042E08118DD539BC4539B6D9@SJ0PR03MB5455.namprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
I don't see this capability in Org, but maybe I'm missing it.
My use case is that I setup an Org file as my phonebook. Each child
header (ie. no subheaders) is a person in my phonebook. I can
categorize them using parent headers. All information about a person is
stored in PROPERTY drawers (but, you could have information outside the
drawer).
What I'd like to do is include a "reference" to a PROPERTY in the
phonebook entry in other Org files so that phone and address is stored
in the phonebook, but I want the "reference" to become the value of the
PROPERTY when the other Org file is exported. I could do a link to the
phonebook Org file, but that is a link and not the data. I'd prefer to
have (say) an exported PDF be standalone and not have references to the
other file that I would also have to export. One reason is that I might
have "confidential" information in the phonebook.
Does this make sense? Has it been done?
