Although, this will not be of much help to the majority, but the Remembrance addin for Emacs would seem to do exactly what you want.

As I am still setting my Emacs system up, looking at this will be some way down the line, but it would seem to be a way of combining a good (multi-platform) outliner with the feature you are looking for.
