I'm quite not sure I understand what you're asking, but wouldn't it be
simplest to mark the item as DONE? Inactive todos do not appear in the
agenda.

Then you could either add a note to the item with C-c C-z or simply jump
to the location of the complete item and add a new sibling with notes
and/or a new TODO.

But perhaps you're trying to accomplish something different...

Best,
Matt
