This might be a case where having a link type that supports attributes
would come in handy. Then you could use these like PDF comments. In the
list of PDF comments in Adobe Acrobat for example, there is a checkbox you
can use to check them off when you are done with one. Of course, you have
to store that state somewhere! I think the pdf comment also stores the
author, and maybe other information too like the date and time it was
created.
