You can test whether the command org+-copy-id_log-clock defined within the following code fits your purposes.
Function org+-agenda-copy-id_log-clock copies clocks of ID_LOG headers to clocks of ID-headers across all agenda files.
You need to test that because your specification leaves some details to the programmer.
For an instance: What should happen when ID_LOG appears multiple times with the same id? The code below accumulates all clocks with the same id in ID_LOG. There are several other variations of that kind.
