The Omni Group takes user interest into account when deciding which features to implement for future releases, so you should send feedback to "vote" it up. You can do this by going to the Help -> Send Feedback option in OmniFocus.

When I run into the situation you describe, I usually just create multiple, discrete actions. There's maybe more overhead with this approach, but one advantage is that you can add or modify start/due dates, flags, and notes (or even delete the entire action) on an individual basis without impacting similar actions in other projects. So it's possibly more flexible than an "alias" or "clone" action.

having the clone/alias functionality wouldn't prevent multiple discrete actions being used, and i know it's a useful feature, because i just tried to do it! it's about being able to view information in ways which are meaningful and useful to each owner. alias/clone feature - bring it on!
