BUT THIS DOES:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+NAME: rtype
#+header: :var prop=(org-entry-get (point) "report_type" t)
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
prop
#+END_SRC

And use that source block:

The report type is call_rtype()[:results raw]

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
