Hi Robert,
I use categories for this. I have multiple org files (normally one per
project) but some files (like todo.org) are catch-all org files which
have multiple categories.
I set the category for a subtree using a property.
All of my project tasks are level 2 tasks so they have a level 1 parent
task for organizing things. Such as
,----[ proj1.org ]
| * Support
| :PROPERTIES:
| :ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Support
| :CATEGORY: PROJ1
| :END:
| ** TODO First Project
| ** TODO Second Project
`----
so all tasks in this project show up in the agenda in the 'PROJ1'
category. You're free to set different categories for any subtree and I
find it very flexible.
This works great for me.
