AFAIK this is not possible. At least not with facilities built into org-mode. You might have luck writing a source for auto-complete, but this might be more effort than it is worth. If you are not planning to export your document, but merely want to manage some data in a tableish fashion inside your Emacs/Org setup, you may find (info "(Org) Column View") of some help. You can define a NAME_ALL property which lists the specific items. HTH, -- Alexander Baier
