I use wyrd, which will take you directly to the entry in the appropriate file.
as for your other question

$ grep -Hn "sentence or pattern or other unique" .reminders/*

$ grep -Hn "Oct 2[123456780] 2012" .reminders/*
.reminders/amain.rem:32:REM Oct 22 2012 AT 10:00 +15 *5 DURATION 1:00 MSG blah .reminders/amain.rem:33:REM Oct 22 2012 AT 10:00 +15 *5 DURATION 1:00 MSG blah .reminders/amain.rem:34:REM Oct 23 2012 AT 08:15 +15 *5 DURATION 1:00 MSG blah .reminders/amain.rem:35:REM Oct 24 2012 AT 08:35 +15 *5 DURATION 1:00 MSG blah .reminders/amain.rem:36:REM Oct 24 2012 AT 13:15 +15 *5 DURATION 1:00 MSG blah .reminders/muttFLw0bC.rem:1:REM Oct 23 2012 AT 10:00 +15 *5 DURATION 0:30 +3 MSG blah .reminders/muttWk3v1V.rem:1:REM Oct 24 2012 AT 10:00 +15 *5 DURATION 0:30 +3 MSG blah .reminders/mutteMuB51.rem:1:REM Oct 25 2012 AT 11:00 +15 *5 DURATION 1:0 +3 MSG blah .reminders/muttkQohlP.rem:1:REM Oct 24 2012 AT 14:00 +15 *5 DURATION 0:30 +3 MSG blah .reminders/muttpJX3Qy.rem:1:REM Oct 25 2012 AT 11:00 +15 *5 DURATION 1:0 +3 MSG blah

I do like remind to organize myself. But what do I do if I want to
edit a reminder and have several reminder files consisting of many
lines? Is there a secret hint hidden in the depth of the manual that I
overlooked telling how to find out the file and entry/line number of the
reminders?

Something like:

remind -magicoption .reminders 2012-11-01

yielding

2012/11/1 * * * * /path/to/reminders.rem line-nr This is a fake message

Or the like?

Or how do others edit their reminders?
