We basically already do this, but what I was thinking is how to define this set as a "project" or "notebook" that would have its own (temporarily defined) set of org-agenda-files, with some functionality like jumping to the most recent timestamp, or generating an overall timeline, table of contents, etc... You would use a minor-mode to temporarily set the org-agenda-files, for example. does anything like this already exist? I am not to familiar with other project-based tools, e.g. projectile. It seems to have some good capabilities for project navigation, but not the org-capabilities I am thinking of. Is anyone already doing anything that sounds like this?
