i can't offer an enticing bikeshed, but i often do this, which is
possibly tangential but maybe sparks ideas.
* topic
*** REF this entry goes at top of siblings below topic
*** x [x sort of means "the topic per se"]
this is actually the text that belongs to topic, and it is under x
because i need it as a sibling with other siblings.
another issue is that it is confusing enough even with the org model
when i have child tasks below lots of body text.
*** AKEYWORD i want this entry at bot of topic
idk if this is useful to anybody else, but i find myself using x as a
generic "this is the actual topic but it needs siblings" kind of
thing. it does have one drawback which is that the agenda shows x
instead of the top heading.
it is merely a quick habit. i wonder if anybody else does it. there
is no special org behavior or anythng.
