I use inlinetasks for this. You can add notes to inlinetask just as you
add notes to a normal headline. Also, inlinetasks can be created around
active region:

Signature
(org-inlinetask-insert-task &optional NO-STATE)

Documentation
Insert an inline task.

If prefix arg NO-STATE is set, ignore org-inlinetask-default-state.
If there is a region wrap it inside the inline task.

Key Bindings
org-mode-map C-c C-x t

Best,
Ihor
