I like the idea of being able to identify entries with notes, but this is hardly doable, because notes are formatted differently for different users. What's doable instead is to have a function mapping the current buffer and looking for entries with a LOGBOOK drawer. You can have a look at `org-map-entries' for a start. HTH, -- Bastien
