[O] Get the text of a node

[Joost Kremers]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there's a way to programmatically get the text 
of a node in an Org buffer. Basically, I have a buffer that looks 
something like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
* Top header
** Subheader
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Custom_ID: some_id
  :END:

  Text starts here, possibly with additional subheaders
#+END_SRC

What I would like to extract is the text below "Subheader", but 
without the :PROPERTIES: block.

I've looked at the org-element library, but I haven't been able to 
figure out how to use it to extract just the plain text.

I use the :Custom_ID: property to find the relevant subheading and 
I know I can use (org-back-to-heading) to get point to the 
Subheader containing the relevant :PROPERTIES: block. Obviously, I 
could then narrow the buffer to the subheader, use a text search 
to move point past the line containing :END: and then extract the 
text from there until (point-max).

I'm just wondering if this may break in unexpected circumstances 
and whether there's a better way.

TIA

Joost
