Via markers, see
http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemnet/use/info/elisp/elisp_29.html. I
don't know much about it either, I just know it exists :-)

That doesn't seem likely. See this (simplified) code from
org-agenda-switch-to:

    (let* ((marker (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker))
	   (pos (marker-position marker)))

So apparently there is a marker.

I change the date directly from the agenda with C-c C-s or S-right. So
when I press RET, it's that I want to edit the title.

Right. I can hack something up that'll be specific to my case, I just
wanted to know if there was a proper way to do it that'd benefit everybody.
