Omni emphasise the 'Focus' part of the application, you even have a 'focus' button to just 'focus' on a single project, but if one has to keep referring to other applications for project related information the whole 'focus' methodology is lost.

OF is designed to be task management software, not project management. The project metaphor is used to group related tasks together, but it's not a project management software.
Sounds like what you need is OmniPlan, not OmniFocus. What you are asking for seems best suited for project management software, not task management/planning software. At some point OF will link with OP, but not right now. Also if you need to add columns of data, perhaps OmniOutliner Pro can suit your need better.
If you want to look beyond Omni, I can recommend Daylite (
http://www.marketcircle.com/daylite/) since it will do what you are asking in one program, but it's not as refined or offers as many features in task management as OF.
It might not be wise for Omni to create a bloated application that does everything when there are other solutions in their offering that can accomplish what you need..
