I cannot make hl-line work (I think), because the columns are using overlays with display properties, and I believe that this does not merge well with another overlay face. But what you might want to do is to configure the face org-column (M-x customize-face RET org-column RET) and turn on the underline attribute. Not sure if this helps, though. > Second, sometimes my property values are too long to fit in the > column width I've allocated (e.g., %20NOTE).

Is the "v" key not enough? If not maybe I can make this optionally. - Carsten
