Subject: Feature Request: org-remember to attach toa different headline level

Hi everyone

Having moved from planner mode to org mode, I am quite happy.  It has required a few shifts in my planning behavior, but all in all it is for the better.  One of the biggest things I miss about planner mode though is the ability to quickly attach a task to a particular planner page from anywhere.  I've been able to replicate the same behavior with a bit of elisp and Remember, but Remember always likes to attach tasks to the first level, but I need it to attach to a 2nd level headline.  Would it be possible to do a check on the headline, and if it is prefixed by a star, it would attach to the headline at the starred level?  For instance if the headline in org-remember-template is set to "*** Tasks" it would attach the Remember note to the first *** Tasks headline it saw.  If it was "Tasks" it would do the normal behavior, which is to attach it to "* Tasks".

Here is my org-create-task so that other planner-mode refugees can utilize it.  Note that it assumes all org files are in ~/org/

(defun org-create-task (org-file)
   "An emulation of planner-create-task."
   (interactive
	 (list
	   (completing-read "Org file: " (directory-files "~/org/"))))
   (aput 'org-remember-templates "Current Project" `(?c "** TODO %?\n    DEADLINE: %^t\n    Made From:%i\n      %a" ,(concat "~/org/" org-file) "Tasks"))
   (org-remember nil ?c))
