What I would like is to keep my ideas in their context and not
separately. Ideally I just want to write my meeting notes as usual but
be able to somehow mark certain sections as ideas to come back to
later. I keep my real todos, the ones I want to work on, separately as
you suggest.

Same as above...
I really really would like some feature to be able to highlight some
part of my text (or even better a list item) as an idea. This way my
ideas could be interspersed in the level I'm in. It doesn't seem
logical to me to create a new heading for each idea in the middle of
my notes.
=== project1.org ===
* journal
** meeting 1
notes...
- idea 1 :idea:
- idea 2 :idea:
notes contd... (this is same level still as notes above under
heading "meeting 1")
* tasks
** todo1
*** subtask1
** todo2

I appreciate it. It's fun to share ideas!
