This is probably not really what you want, but at least somehow related. I
would not know how to do this via source-block arguments, but maybe you can
use the results of one source-block (that produces the data) as input for
another source-block that does the real work.
* Heading 1 :match:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5a
:foo: 5
:bar: puppy
:END:
* Heading 2
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5b
:foo: 6
:bar: yuppy
:END:
* Heading 3 :match:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 3f78f08a-ccca-4fc0-aba9-2a192f7a0e5c
:foo: 7
:bar: hippie
:END:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results raw
(let ((lst))
(org-map-entries
(lambda () (cons (org-entry-properties) lst))
"match" 'file))
#+end_src
#+results:
