Hi Andre, re-routing to Design list.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. The core value is the
ability to link items together.
What's needed to turn this into a fully-supported feature?
1.The interface needs to express, as in visualize the links that are
being created under the hood.
This means adding the ability to:
+ Group together linked items in Triage Table, at-will. (Similar to
Thread View in Mail clients, but perhaps more useful if you can do it
on a thread-by-thread basis.)
+ Highlight linked items, even when they're not grouped together.
2. Improve the experience for linking items together.
More often than not, you will want to link items *as* you create
them. (e.g. Jot down the 5 thoughts you're having about Project X).
Hence, the discussion with Poojan re: creating groupings of items via
the Notes field: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2007-
November/007981.html
A different approach might be to tie the appearance of item-linking
affordances to the Task Stamp.
1. Stamp an item as a Task
2. Affordances for creating a linked, group of items appears either
in the Detail View or the Triage Table View.
Nice to have: Ability to drag and drop items between groups to add/
move them.

I've played with it...the plugin available on CheeseShop...works
surprisingly well, it's potential value seems very high to me since it
provides a valuable link between items regardless of where and how in
one's repository they exist...reluctant to give it much use though so
long as plugin data is not supported by export and reload.

I think Jeffrey whipped up a dependency system for items during the
last sprint week. Not sure of its current state, though.
