I like the variable idea. I would make it a concatenation string for joining. That way “” would concatenate the way Tyler wants, “ “ would preserve current behavior, and “,” could lead to a comma separated list for example. Other things like “\n” might lead to a column, etc.

Hmm. I am not sure if it going to be a straightforward patch. You may
need to update org-element parser accordingly.
Also, I do not like the idea of extending org syntax with :PROPERTY^:.
It may be easier to introduce a variable similar to
org-use-property-inheritance where the user can customise how to
accumulate parent properties.
