    I noticed the file format is very similar to the layout of property
    drawers.
    
    Could recutils read an org file using those drawers with minor
    changes?
    
    That'd be a neat way to externally cross reference Org files and do
    reporting!

The parser implemented by librec would need a lot of changes to achieve
this.  But you can always pre-process the org files in a wrapper, that
would remove anything that is not a drawer and the indentation.
