Is there any way to set up alerts/reminders in OF? I'm not talking about due date reminders....I'm talking about reminding me to revisit an action on a specific date. Does anyone know of any solutions?

Sure, put in an action that says "revisit <X>" for appropriate value of X. You can put a link in the notes field that will take you there. To do so, select the target action or project, Edit->Copy As Link and paste into the notes field of the reminder. Set start and due date to cause it to reappear when desired. Or, if you want active harassment, use your calendar program and store the copied link there. Pasting the link into a web browser and opening it will take you to the target; in some programs you will be able to click on the link directly.
Even simpler may be to just change start and due date on the item to be revisited.

Wouldn't Review mode be a good way to do this? In the Action Inspector you can set the next review time. You probably need to set the default review period to something large to 'move' everything else out of the way.
Using the notes field precludes the use of a button in the button bar at the top. You can also not search for a time period to revisit (or you need to have vague revisit dates, like 'Revisit: november', or 'Revisit: weekly meeting').
