Say you have project foo with project file foo.org: ,---- | #+STARTUP: showall | *** Long list of project items | **** a | **** b | **** c | DEADLINE: <2010-04-28 Wed> | **** d | **** e | **** f | | **** g | | **** h | DEADLINE: <2010-04-28 Wed> | **** i | **** j `---- Items c and h are due today. I assume you have added the file to your agenda list. Then you look at your agenda and you get: ,---- | Week-agenda (W17-W18): | Wednesday 28 April 2010 | ... | foo: Deadline: c | foo: Deadline: h | ... | Thursday 29 April 2010 | ... `---- Click on the c line and press : you are in foo.org, on item c, and there's your context. Ditto for the h line in the agenda. If this does not satisfy you, what would you like to have seen instead? HTH in some small way, Nick
