Hmmm - true - how are those todo items related to the rest of the text?

Todos in Org-mode are geared for TODO lists, not as annotations or
sidenotes.

 --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---

* TODO not exported but in agena                     :noexport:

 ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---


works here.

What about using links to those TODO items?

 --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---

* headline

  This is the text with a [[todo-1][TODO-link]] inline...


 .... more content here, sections, lists, whatever...



# <<todo-1>>
* TODO This is the TODO

  This TODO will show up in the agenda.

 ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---


or


 --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---

* headline

  This is the text with a [[Clean the garage]] inline...


.... more content here, sections, lists, whatever...


* TODO <<Clean the garage>>

  This TODO will show up in the agenda.

 ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---

This is all I can think of so far. Not exactly what you're looking for,
but maybe some of this or combinations from it might help.
