this is interesting! I use Evernote. But I'm not sure I understand how to use it as you suggest. I can link to individual notes, but can I link to attachments inside of a note? If not, this means I have to have a separate Note for each attachment, yes?
Also, this doesn't seem to work on the iPad: I open OF, find the Action, and the link to the Evernote note is shown under it as a link (blue, underlined). But when I tap it, it brings up a keyboard and wants me to edit it, rather than follow the link. Is this supposed to work on iPad?

the thing is that I really like the nested task management aspect (although I don't use perspectives in the classical GTD sense). I need not only a document management system but the kind of interface OF gives to projects/actions/sub-actions etc. and the "due" (time/date) functions. Do these other systems have anything like that? And: if I do like one of them, is there any way to automatically convert/import my OF database into their format? Can an OF database be exported in any way that they can then import?

thanks!
