With Org, it is simple to implement.  In fact, I coded something like
this some time ago, using file-local variables; switching to
directory-local variables or a similar device should be easy.

OTOH, an "Org way" (if there is something like that at all) could be
have e.g. many projects in one Org file, and have links to the projects'
directories.
