I learned from Todo.txt (https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/The-Todo.txt-Format) the art of putting contexts and project words or tags within the same field/line of the task item and then using search which is available in every text file and every spreadsheet or database and Toodledo.
