Dear Eric, Bastien and John,
Thanks for references to recutils and org-ql. These are very interesting,
and I am looking at those.
A recutils database with a possibility of selecting, inserting and updating
records from org is one possibility.
Let me play around with these tools a bit and see

One solution to this is a function you would write that validates the
properties, and prevents saving if they are invalid. You would want to use
