`org-map-entries' should satisfy this need. -- Eric

| org-map-entries is a Lisp function in `org.el'.
| 
| (org-map-entries FUNC &optional MATCH SCOPE &rest SKIP)
| 
| Call FUNC at each headline selected by MATCH in SCOPE.
| 
| FUNC is a function or a lisp form.  The function will be called without
| arguments, with the cursor positioned at the beginning of the headline.
| The return values of all calls to the function will be collected and
| returned as a list.
| 
| The call to FUNC will be wrapped into a save-excursion form, so FUNC
| does not need to preserve point.  After evaluation, the cursor will be
| moved to the end of the line (presumably of the headline of the
| processed entry) and search continues from there.  Under some
| circumstances, this may not produce the wanted results.  For example,
| if you have removed (e.g. archived) the current (sub)tree it could
| mean that the next entry will be skipped entirely.  In such cases, you
| can specify the position from where search should continue by making
| FUNC set the variable `org-map-continue-from' to the desired buffer
| position.
| 
| MATCH is a tags/property/todo match as it is used in the agenda tags view.
| Only headlines that are matched by this query will be considered during
| the iteration.  When MATCH is nil or t, all headlines will be
| visited by the iteration.
| 
| SCOPE determines the scope of this command.  It can be any of:
| 
| nil     The current buffer, respecting the restriction if any
| tree    The subtree started with the entry at point
| file    The current buffer, without restriction
| file-with-archives
|         The current buffer, and any archives associated with it
| agenda  All agenda files
| agenda-with-archives
|         All agenda files with any archive files associated with them
| (file1 file2 ...)
|         If this is a list, all files in the list will be scanned
| 
| The remaining args are treated as settings for the skipping facilities of
| the scanner.  The following items can be given here:
| 
|   archive    skip trees with the archive tag.
|   comment    skip trees with the COMMENT keyword
|   function or Emacs Lisp form:
|              will be used as value for `org-agenda-skip-function', so whenever
|              the function returns t, FUNC will not be called for that
|              entry and search will continue from the point where the
|              function leaves it.
| 
| If your function needs to retrieve the tags including inherited tags
| at the *current* entry, you can use the value of the variable
| `org-scanner-tags' which will be much faster than getting the value
| with `org-get-tags-at'.  If your function gets properties with
| `org-entry-properties' at the *current* entry, bind `org-trust-scanner-tags'
| to t around the call to `org-entry-properties' to get the same speedup.
| Note that if your function moves around to retrieve tags and properties at
| a *different* entry, you cannot use these techniques.
