I use inline tasks for this.  If you are exporting to PDF via LaTeX, the
following LaTeX definition for inline tasks is quite useful:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-inlinetask-export-templates
        '((latex "%s\\footnote{%s\\\\ %s}\\marginpar{\\fbox{\\thefootnote}}"
                 '((unless
                       (eq todo "")
                     (format "\\fbox{\\textsc{%s%s}}" todo priority))
                   heading content))))
#+end_src

This uses footnotes to put the task information into the document and
uses a little margin note to indicate that a TODO task is present in the
text.

I've removed the templates for other export targets from this variable
to keep the email short.

HTH,
eric
