Here is an example of running programs to define variables.
%define is_rh %(test -e /etc/redhat-release && echo 1 || echo 0)
Write your own program or script to read a "properties file" (whatever
you mean by that) and output a value. I would suggest something like
%define version %(/usr/local/bin/getproperty myconfig.props VERSION)
%define release %(/usr/local/bin/getproperty myconfig.props RELEASE)
