[Orgmode] Feature Request: org-remember to attach toa different headline level

[Jonathan Arkell]

Hi everyone

Having moved from planner mode to org mode, I am quite happy.  It has required 
a few shifts in my planning behavior, but all in all it is for the better.  One 
of the biggest things I miss about planner mode though is the ability to 
quickly attach a task to a particular planner page from anywhere.  I've been 
able to replicate the same behavior with a bit of elisp and Remember, but 
Remember always likes to attach tasks to the first level, but I need it to 
attach to a 2nd level headline.  Would it be possible to do a check on the 
headline, and if it is prefixed by a star, it would attach to the headline at 
the starred level?  For instance if the headline in org-remember-template is 
set to "*** Tasks" it would attach the Remember note to the first *** Tasks 
headline it saw.  If it was "Tasks" it would do the normal behavior, which is 
to attach it to "* Tasks".

Here is my org-create-task so that other planner-mode refugees can utilize it.  
Note that it assumes all org files are in ~/org/

(defun org-create-task (org-file)
   "An emulation of planner-create-task."
   (interactive
         (list
           (completing-read "Org file: " (directory-files "~/org/"))))
   (aput 'org-remember-templates "Current Project" `(?c "** TODO %?\n    
DEADLINE: %^t\n    Made From:%i\n      %a" ,(concat "~/org/" org-file) "Tasks"))
   (org-remember nil ?c))
