Specifically the output of: (org-get-heading t t) I find the ITEM special property too noisy inside of a table, and I have all the metadata without the actual headline by itself. I'm unsure if the special properties "HEADING" and "ITEM" are confusing as being slightly different concepts, so a better name might be good.

I think "ITEM" is expected return the headline without all the meta data. If no one objects, I'll change it so in master.

So, in the following example #+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TODO %PRIORITY %TAGS ITEM will contain only stars and headline. This cannot properly work in, e.g., a clock table, which doesn't know about columns. We can get rid of this "smart" behaviour and remove TODO keyword, priority and tags in all cases. However the situation is not so simple for the stars, since there is no LEVEL special property. IOW, if we remove the stars, it is actually not possible anymore to know the level of the headline. If we want to remove them, I suggest adding a new LEVEL special property. Note that in this case, user defined properties cannot be labelled "level" anymore. Another option, as the OP suggested, is to create a new special property, e.g., HEADLINE, which will contain only the title. WDYT?

Although how about HEADLINE_LEVEL, OUTLINE_LEVEL or some abbreviation to make it more unlikely to clash with user defined properties?

I stripped all meta-data from "ITEM" special property in master. However, I kept the stars as they inform about relationship between headlines in a columnview table.
