Ok, I understand now. Thanks for explaining. 

What I want to do seems quite simple and natural to me. What would be
the org-way to get my desired output? Can I use two different property
keywords, one for areas and one for projects? How do other people do
it? 

I could, of course, simply skip the property for the 1st level, but
this would always result in a corrupt agenda view for projects. Not a
catastrophe, but not nice.

Greetings

Sven
