Is there a way to have a TODO item in an org-file that is not in a
headline and that shows up in the agenda?

I have been using org-mode to write papers, and often in the middle of
a section I want to make a TODO item, right where something needs to
be done, and I do not want to make a new heading there as it changes
the overall organization (even though it is temporary and will be
removed).  Something like this would be great:

#+TODO: finish this section DEADLINE: <2012-12-14 Fri>


At the moment I can search for these lines, but it would be nice if
they showed up in the agenda. Is there any way to do this that I am
overlooking?

Thanks,

j


Here is a simple usage for example.


* introduction

Lots of text. blah blah
#+TODO: finish this section DEADLINE: <2012-12-14 Fri>

end of introductory text that is still in the introduction section.

* Methods
yadayadaya.

** TODO I do not like this because subsequent text is in a subsection

we used this method to do that.

* Conclusions
The end.
