  • In general, you cannot: property values are strings and are not parsed at all, so Org mode does not know what's in them. #+title: is not really a property: it's a keyword and some keywords (e.g. #+title:) are parsed and macro expansion is performed on them. Unfortunately, #+export_file_name: is not one of them. I get the feeling that what is parsed and what is not is more-or-less an accident of history. This area could use some rationalization.
