`org-export-document-properties' is a defconst, which is computed from
`org-element-document-properties', also a defconst. So, no, it
isn't meant for that.
Document properties are keywords where `org-element-context' is allowed
to return an object. It doesn't make sense to add random keywords
specific to some export back-ends to the list.

For now, I suggest to use `org-element-parse-secondary-string'.

You can always use `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the keyword
value and `org-export-data' or `org-export-data-with-backend' on it.
At some point, I thought about adding a `parsed' behaviour to
`org-export-options-alist' as a shortcut. Sadly, I cannot remember why
I didn't implement the idea eventually. It may be related to
`org-element-map', which couldn't map over data in such keywords, or the
fact that it would be confusing wrt `org-element-context'. E.g., if we
consider the two keywords
#+TITLE: *boXld*
#+PARSED_KÊYWORD_IN_SOME_BACKEND_IGNORED_IN_OTHERS: *boXld*
in the former, `org-element-context' at "X" returns a `bold' object, in
the latter, a `keyword' element. Note that I'm not arguing it should
return a `bold' object in both cases, it really shouldn't, but it can be
confusing and potentially trigger false bug reports.
