This would be a good place to store the text? I almost always end up putting the text directly under the headline, and then doing a subtree export. As John notes, though, if you've got a particularly complex document it might feel cleaned to put it in a separate file. On the other hand, I suspect there's nothing you can do with a separate file that you can't do with subtree properties/export options. >From the point of view of reaching the text from the Agenda, I doubt there's much difference -- just the matter of an extra RET if you are following a link to a separate file.
