Another nice thing about this approach is that it doesn't weigh down the application.

Cool. I was thinking the same thing.
In my mind I imagine selcting an action and hitting a keystroke that brings up a dialog for looking up a contact in the AddressBook (or overiding for no match) and a couple of buttons to either just delegate the action in Omnifocus or additionally create a new email to the contact.
Afterward, the action would be prepended with "Delegated:" or similar, moved to a (user-defined) WaitingFor context [sic], and the note appended to reflect the date it was delegated, to whom, and a link to the email if it was created.
Being more of an AppleScript dabbler than anything, I thought the OF half of the script would be simple to implement, but the Mail/AddressBook stuff would be much harder.
If someone more skilled than I wants to tackle a script, I would be most grateful.
Extra credit for linking to the AddressBook entry and/or including a start date some user-defined time in the future.
