This is a challenge for any single-dimension hierarchical structure, naturally.
The key is to create a folder structure that best serves the geography of dealing with the outline (that is, however you can most-logically find what you need in the outline, use a folder structure for that). Since MLO supports unlimited "Contexts" and contexts can be nested (contexts can contain other contexts), you can create an arbitrary number of other contextual structures. You can create a context called @daily_tasks that contains @daily_Saturday, then assign Balance Checkbook to the @daily_Saturday context. Additionally, you can create a context of @planning that contains @plan_Financial, then assign the @plan_Financial context to Balance Checkbook also. When search for either context, that same single task will show up. You don't have to use nested contexts-- that's made my example slightly more complex, but it is the next logical question-- you can identify all of your planning-related tasks by looking at everything in any of the contexts that are under @planning, for example. Likewise, you can see all the things that you have to do routinely by looking at the @daily_tasks context. It won't be exactly what you're looking for, visually, but it is enough of the solution to not have to create imposter tasks or links around your tree.
