I found this case extremely useful: >> ,---- >> | * PROJECT Implement BUG-1234, allow users to upload files >> | :PROPERTIES: >> | :CATEGORY: [[http://example.com/bugtracker/1234][BUG-1234]] >> | :ORDERED: t >> | :END: >> | ...etc... >> `---- >> >> Then the global TODO list (C-c a t) shows this as: >> >> ,---- >> | BUG-1234:TODO Implement authentication >> `---- >> >> Where "BUG-1234" is a link that takes me to the bug tracker URL. Wow, that way categories start to make sense. As for me, it's not the category, it's just the chance to go to some other place from agenda, but the entry itself.
