(I believe the earlier email exchange was between you and me, and
not recorded as part of this thread.)

The problem is that diary-goto-entry-function is not easily
extensible: todo-mode is "hijacking" this variable for its purposes.
So this variable cannot easily be used anymore by another package.
What I am suggesting will allow more easily that multiple packages
can each do more easily their own thing: a text property tells
diary-goto-entry how it should branch out.

Does this make sense?  Or are there yet better solutions?
