thank you for the quick resposes, sorry for being not only longish but foggy.
I can't reflect on the first post now, I.m reading ctags in the other
window, but can reflect on this one.

*No*, it is not cloning, but "soft linking", let me examplify:

Diary
<Tab>[_] 2006
<Tab><Tab>[_] June 2006
<Tab><Tab><Tab>2006.06.15 Thu
<Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab>do some foo today
<Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab>jumpto tag_bar

...

would make a jum to:
Projects
<Tab>Project1
<Tab><Tab>[_] 25% tag_bar: Item1, which is really some foo-ing
<Tab><Tab><Tab>[X] Item11
<Tab><Tab><Tab>[_] Item12
<Tab><Tab><Tab>[_] Item13
<Tab><Tab><Tab>[_] Item14

in an ideal world, back and forth, i.e. show the mapping from the
project towards the calendar, but from the calendar into the work item
direction would be enough.

So this is like a goto, but you can insert inbetween, change the
strings at both ends, etc.

Hope this helps, and thank you once again.

/Peter
