I found that the luggage tag approach (attached at the middle of a long continuous sheet) works well for me. Of course that is only helpful if you don't do headsail changes frequently or at all. If you have eye splices in your sheets you could try luggage tagging each of them to the clew if the grommet in the sail is large enough to do that.
