For dependence on multiple preceding actions, how about this;
Along the left gray edge of the 'quick add' box there are "lables" for
referencing a certian row in the 'quick-add field'.
E.g the left edge (outside the actual writing field) could be
permanently numbered from top down, looking like this;

1| Make sandwich
2| .get bread
3| .spread butter
4| .spread jam
5| .cut in half
6|
7|

to smoothly declare actions dependent on multiple previous actions,
you use the 'label', i.e

1| Make sandwich
2| .get bread|N
3| .spread butter|D
4| .spread jam
5| .cut in half|D3
6| .stick in toothpick
7| .put on plate|D|D2

(or, even more compact, maybe optionally to "D|D2" it could read
"DD2" )


The same nomenclature could probably by used for subprojects, as long
as they are declared simultaneously in the quick-add box, i.e
referencing the line/label where it's superior project is.
