Thanks! I think that's going to be what I'm looking for, but I got an error:
let: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil
I traced it down to the =org-element-property :contents-begin= call which
essentially ends up looking like this:
(org-element-property :contents-begin '((clock (:status closed :value
(timestamp (:type inactive-range :raw-value "[2018-08-05 Sun
02:35]--[2018-08-05 Sun 03:06]" :year-start 2018 :month-start 8 :day-start
5 :hour-start 2 :minute-start 35 :year-end 2018 :month-end 8 :day-end 5
:hour-end 3 :minute-end 6 :begin 28124 :end 28171 :post-blank 1)) :duration
"0:31" :begin 28112 :end 28180 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 28112 :parent
(drawer (:begin 28097 :end 28191 :drawer-name "LOGBOOK" :contents-begin
28112 :contents-end 28180 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 28097 :parent
nil))))))
Then contents-begin isn't being accessed for some reason. I don't know
elisp well enough to know why just by looking at that. The raw output I got
from my point being over a TODO I yanked from the messages buffer was:
(clock (:status closed :value (timestamp (:type inactive-range :raw-value
"[2018-08-05 Sun 02:35]--[2018-08-05 Sun 03:06]" :year-start 2018
:month-start 8 :day-start 5 :hour-start 2 :minute-start 35 :year-end 2018
:month-end 8 :day-end 5 :hour-end 3 :minute-end 6 :begin 28124 :end 28171
:post-blank 1)) :duration "0:31" :begin 28112 :end 28180 :post-blank 0
:post-affiliated 28112 :parent (drawer (:begin 28097 :end 28191
:drawer-name "LOGBOOK" :contents-begin 28112 :contents-end 28180
:post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 28097 :parent nil))))
To be able to work with it in org mode I just put a ='= in front of it like:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(org-element-property :contents-begin '((clock (:status closed
:value (timestamp (:type inactive-range :raw-value "[2018-08-05 Sun
02:35]--[2018-08-05 Sun 03:06]" :year-start 2018 :month-start 8 :day-start
5 :hour-start 2 :minute-start 35 :year-end 2018 :month-end 8 :day-end 5
:hour-end 3 :minute-end 6 :begin 28124 :end 28171 :post-blank 1)) :duration
"0:31" :begin 28112 :end 28180 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 28112 :parent
(drawer (:begin 28097 :end 28191 :drawer-name "LOGBOOK" :contents-begin
28112 :contents-end 28180 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 28097 :parent
nil))))))
#+END_SRC
If that's the correct way to do that translation, then maybe we are using
different org mode versions? I'm using 9.1.9.
