Hello Stefan,

again, please sent your mail also to the org mailing list. Just do a
follow-up in your mail client, instead of a reply, that should do the
right thing I guess.

This can surely be done by using the mapping api I referenced in the
first post. You need to know some elisp for this thought. But I would be
willing to post something along those lines, if you wanted to go down
that way.

Putting the collected data into an org-tree or presenting it in another
way should be doable, too.

Well, the question is, if you want to implement a whole database upon
the org-format.
