I use inline tasks for this. If you are exporting to PDF via LaTeX, the
following LaTeX definition for inline tasks is quite useful:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-inlinetask-export-templates
'((latex "%s\\footnote{%s\\\\ %s}\\marginpar{\\fbox{\\thefootnote}}"
'((unless
(eq todo "")
(format "\\fbox{\\textsc{%s%s}}" todo priority))
heading content))))
#+end_src
This uses footnotes to put the task information into the document and
uses a little margin note to indicate that a TODO task is present in the
text.
I've removed the templates for other export targets from this variable
to keep the email short.
HTH,
