No, it is currently not possible.=C2=A0 What would be the use-case?


I am thinking of using org-mode to compile= a small database. I would like to use properties to add data, and some res= trictions of this kind to limit what properties a particular kind of headli= ne could have.

It might seem like an over-kill, but the= n for org-mode, almost nothing is an over-kill.

I am missing a few nuts and bolts= , but would really like to see how it works to use org-mode for a small org= -mode-skilled team to use it as a data platform.

Warmest greetings and regards,
