Seems to me you could have an agenda-like view where you give a
selection criteria and a list of fields to display. I guess you could
wrap it in a table if you like. At this point we'd have invented SQL
queries for org-mode. I can't decide yet if I think it's overkill or
cool. It seemed cool until I realized it was functionally just a
select-where statement. But that is really all I was after. Dynamic
reports from all my org-files.
