Yes, I was looking for the same kind of thing some times ago. But I do
not have any idea of how we may present the agenda view. Maybe it should
be better do display the path to a TODO item, since parent item may be
not TODO items by themselves, like this:

* Garden
** TODO Cut the flowers
* Home
** TODO Cut the flowers

should be presented somehow like in the refile view, as:

TODO Garden / Cut the flowers
TODO Home / Cut the flowers

instead of the unclear:

TODO Cut the flowers
TODO Cut the flowers

Actually, I wonder how people deals with this kind of tasks. Are you
relying on tags ? For example with :garden: and :home: in my previous
example ?

Personally, I am used to recall the main heading at the beginning of the
children, but only when the TODO item heading is really not clear enough
by itself, since it is a quite heavy solution.

Same :)
