Is there any way to add some TODO comments in your models?

I work as devops engineer. At my work i use comments a lot. Ofthen they are TODO comments which begin with "TODO: " phrase. VSCode (the editor/ide i use) can show all occurences of particular phrase (in this case "TODO: " ) among all files. This way, when i start my day and open the editor, i can easily see what left to be done and when i click any points of the list it takes me to the relevant document and moves the cursor to this comment.

I wish there was similar thing in onshape. Like i add some annotations to my parts in files/documents and in the start screen i can see the list of all of things i need to fix/try/polish. For example

Document1

  • Part studio 1
    • SomePart
      • TODO: channge chamfers to fillets
      • TODO: add additional cutout
    • SomeOtherPart
      • Fix Diameter of holes to fit nuts
  • Variables Studio 1
    • add diameter variable for nut holes

Document2

….

Is it possible to have such thing in onshape? Keeping such list in separate tools may work but without direct links to particular parts and their features is not as useful.

    Paid accounts have Tasks which create a todo list. All accounts can use comments, but they are document/feature specific.
