Integrative to-do list

Every to-do item on my list does not stand alone, but has groups of information that I will need to find to complete the task. Have you ever had something to do, didn’t have time to do, so you put it on your to-do list, only to find 4 hours later, when you got down to that item, that you’d lost the document, email, and phone number you needed to complete it, so spent a good 30 mins looking through your emails? I’d like to create an integrative to-do list as a desktop application. Let’s say I have a to-do something like: “Email and interview Dr. Z.” I remember to add this on my to-do list when Dr. Z emails me a confirmation, his assistant sends me his bio, and my boss sends me the questions I need to ask. So, there are three emails, from different people, most likely with different subjects, that I’ll need to find to get this task done. I would love to be able, once I got those three emails, to select all of them, and drop them into an app which created a to-do and stored that info. I could also drop web addresses, files, etc. Yes–I could also just copy and paste blips to help my memory on an RTM note. I’d just like a simple and fast way to do something I could use a few times daily. Anyone know a program like this, or are interested in making one? I do not have the technical background for desktop apps.
