I think I need to elaborate what I meant by "similar to
org-use-property-inheritance".

org-use-property-inheritance docstring:

>>> When nil, only the properties directly given in the current entry
>>> count. When t, every property is inherited. The value may also be a
>>> list of properties that should have inheritance, or a regular
>>> expression matching properties that should be inherited.

Similarly, concatenation of PROPERTY+ can be controlled on per-property
basis.

Best,
