I want to copy the value of a property in the properties drawer to the kill ring, so I can paste (yank) it with org-yank (for example). Something similar to what kill-ring-save does.

Currently, I have to open the properties drawer, select (mark) the property value, and copy it to the kill ring with kill-ring-save. Then move to the destination and paste it using org-yank. I would like to use a key binding to copy the value of a specific property (for example :ID:) so I don't have to do all the selection procedure.

Any ideas? thanks.

The following function should do it. You can bind it to a key.

(defun copy-id-property ()
  "copy the id property of current heading"
  (interactive)
  (kill-new (org-entry-get (point) "ID")))

  • There's no interactive way to get it? We have org-set-property, but there's no equivalent org-get-property?
