I think that there should be a single general function:
- It would take a project or list of projects as an argument, so that
one can search projects other than the planner one.
- It would derive the annotation from context, so there would be no
need for a separate function for each kind of annotation.
- And it would only search for the url of the annotation, since the
description as supplied by the annotation function may have been
subsequently edited.
Oh, I see. The idea is to have a dired buffer with all matching files
marked. I was imagining that a page of links would be displayed in a
buffer, perhaps with some context: rather like M-x grep but with muse
links.

Indeed, one could actually hoover up lots of information about pages into a
database that way.
But let us not pre-empt what the original author may have already come
up with.
