there's a particular chunk of text that I need to do something with. What about something that looks like:

In 2005 there were approximately [[TODO: Verify this; SCHEDULED:
<tomorrow>; :statistics:][4,500]] Confucius Institutes in operation worldwide.

How would you distingu= ish between regular links and such inline TODO's when the "link&qu= ot; portion is hidden?

Would footnotes serve bette= r? (I'm not a consumer of inline todos (yet?) so consider this suggesti= on with a grain of salt :))
