I often put in my own cookies inside floawing text.  For example, I
label doubts in my notes with a "(?)".  In the example below, I have a
doubt about comment 2.

  Some statement
  - Comment 1
  - Comment 2 (?)

Then I can easily look for it with occur or grep from the commandline.
If you want fontification for cookies like above, you can try something
like this (untested):


  ;; font-lock customisations
  (defface my-global-tag-face
    '((t (:background "royalblue4" :foreground "thistle" :weight bold)))
    "Face for the global tags."
    :group 'my-faces)

  (add-hook 'find-file-hook
  	  (lambda ()
  	    (font-lock-add-keywords
  	     nil '(("\\<[ (]\\([a-zA-Z0-9]\\+\\)[) ]\\>"
  		    1 'my-global-tag-face prepend)))))


Hope this helps,
