Subtree-specific variables

Subtree-specific variables

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to have subtree-specific variables?
I have been using #+MACRO: but it seems it is a buffer-wide thing.
For example, it would be great if I can use a property value in org-mode bodies.

Usually, you get subtree specific variables with node properties,
appending "EXPORT_" to them, e.g.

  * Subtree root
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EXPORT_AUTHOR: Not me
  :END:

The suggestion above doesn't apply to MACRO keyword, mainly because
properties' values are only one line long.

Thank you for the reply. I'm aware of EXPORT_ stuff, but I'm actually looking for something like this:
* Subtree root
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_Variable: Test:END: 
{{{Variable}}}
Would something like this be possible?

It is:

  {{{property(EXPORT_Variable)}}}

Thank you so much! This will be very useful. 
One related question - I'm including another subtree (I'm using 8.3beta) using
   #+INCLUDE: "playground.org::*Contents" :only-contents t
but it seems I cannot access the property of the parent heading inside the included subtree. (Using {{{property(EXPORT_Variable)}}} to access the parent property). Is this not possible?
Thank you so much,Joon

Oh, I forgot to turn on org-use-property-inheritance. Now it works in the included subtree as well. Thank you so much!From: joon.ro@outlook.com
