Column view is currently not flexible enough to retrieve data that is not a known property from property drawer or from special properties. In theory, we might modify `org-columns--collect-values' to allow user-defined special properties. This might be something similar to `org-columns-summary-types', but to allow custom functions that retrieve property value. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
