Can't you just create the new todo item when on column 1 of the dependent task - so it gets inserted before it? * TODO Some Project :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: ** TODO Dependent Task ^ | point here Then C-S-TAB or M-S-TAN creates the new task before this one * TODO Some Project :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: ** TODO New Task ** TODO Dependent Task Combined with the ORDERED property and the variable org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks set to 'invisible it might get you a long way towards what you are trying to achieve.
