As you are using OF 1.8, Where in OF would allow you to list (and select) overdue parent tasks with a saveable search like:
tasks where (number of tasks > 0) and (due date ≤ today)-- Last edited by RobTrew; 2012-07-17 at 07:35 AM..

No you don't understand what I'm looking for:
When I'm in overdue view, where all my tasks are shown which are overdue and due soon, there will show the tasks of a 'subproject' and if I want the parent/topic of the subproject to, but not grouped like in project-view - so my question is: can I show a subproject grouped like in project-view?

No, I don't believe it is possible to build a perspective that does what you want. You can only get the grouping you want in Project mode, but there is no way to filter out the non-due stuff there. You could find them in Context mode, select them and double-click to open a Project mode window that showed the containing projects, but you would get the entire containing project, not just the overdue action group. Rob's script with his suggested query works pretty well for this, except it grabs overdue projects and projects that would be overdue if not on hold or dropped, so you have to do some picking and choosing of the results. Rob, any suggestions for a better search?
If you don't assign a context to your action groups or projects, you can just look for them in the No Contexts bin with the Due filter, then double-click to get the focused window. Credit for the germ of this idea goes to Curt Clifton in a discussion about how to keep track of projects and action groups with no available actions.

(The latter could include clickable OmniFocus:///object_type/ID links back into the GUI] (I've written the SELECT field1 .. fieldN FROM part ... but October is making life busier than it was in August) Last edited by RobTrew; 2012-07-17 at 07:36 AM.. Reason: added (completed is false) to the search filter

I believe that running SQL commands directly against the OF cache file works, though falls deep into "not officially supported" territory. :-)
