Column view is currently not flexible enough to retrieve data that is
not a known property from property drawer or from special properties.
In theory, we might modify `org-columns--collect-values' to allow
user-defined special properties.
This might be something similar to `org-columns-summary-types', but to
allow custom functions that retrieve property value.
