We've talked about this, but I don't think there's a bug logged for  
this. Would you mind logging a bug?

We've talked about this functionality in a variety of forms. Here's  
the one that most closely matches what you're describing: https:// 
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11822

As for documents,  we've discussed adding the ability to 'attach'  
documents to items and mark items as 'Resource' items. (See more  
about Resource items below.)

Yes indeed. This is logged as bug 11622 - https:// 
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11622
To help us prioritize, do you have a top 3 list of rich text  
capability? (e.g. Tab, Bold and URLs?)

Do you want to be able to keep notes around as reference material?  
We've talked about adding a 'Resource' Kind for items that have  
persistent value as reference material.

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is the first 'web widget'  
we'd like to deploy. We're hoping to make it available as an iGoogle/ 
Yahoo homepage widget as well as on the desktop and possibly iPhone.
