pages properties in agenda

pages properties in agenda

[Shelagh Manton]

I have been using the org-learning module in some study and while it is 
quite useful as it is, I was thinking that I might improve my use by a 
special agenda command that could pull out and display a property.

Use case:

I use the org-learning to re-read sections of a book I am studying. And 
so I have a :PAGES: property with the page numbers of the section I am to 
read. Specially if I bomb out on remembering what I am supposed to know! 

I was wondering if I could create a custom agenda command that would 
display the page numbers from that property so that I can just open the 
book up at the relevant pages for immediate study instead of going to the 
relevant todo, opening up the drawer and seeing what the page numbers are?

No.

But you can create a sparse tree based on a tags match or however else  
you
can tell that you need to repeat that section.
Then switch to column view, and make sure the page number shows up in
the column view format.
