I do something similar to this but don't put any heading text on the
line.  I *do*, however, use tags for exporting various blocks for
different purposes.  This can be useful here if you want to 'munge'
things a bit on export, though it would likely take some careful post
processing or multiple passes through your doc to get what you want.

This is what I do when creating notes for teaching and handouts for
students from a single org file...
