My goal isn't really to make something that dims ancestors, though: it's to give users a number of choices for indicating hierarchical relationships between entries in agenda views. That ought to encompass your needs, but it probably will end up being a little more complicated. [...] > I'm not sure why any agenda view can't use these features.

The main problem is that the codebase is very scattered, and there are a large number of different functions that produce and display agenda-like entries. To make this (for whatever value of "this") work for all agenda views, it will take quite a bit of poking about, and making little design decisions. I want to make sure that the general strategy is acceptable before I put that work in.
