Thanks for the idea. This is my current workaround. However, it
happens in longer headings that I insert a time/datestamp at the end
without realizing that I'm working in a todo heading. This is an
issue for me because I do have to check every time I'm using
timestamps. It's rather obvious that I fail from time to time and I
lose the entry on my non-todo-agenda.

(org-agenda-skip-function

I realized there is probably an even easier way (no custom ELisp
required), simply by creating a separate child heading for the meeting,
which should then show up. Assuming I am following you correctly, how
about:
#+begin_src org
* PROJECT Project X
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: P:X
:END:
** PROJECT Discuss 'topic' with Steve
*** DONE Ask Steve for a time-slot
*** Meeting with steve
<2022-04-05 Tue 14:00>--<2022-04-05 Tue 15:00>
#+end_src
N.B. the indentation levels.
Couple notes here:
1. If you set CATEGORY on the parent, and have enabled inheritance, the
'P:X' should appear on left side in your agenda, at the time of this
meeting, giving context. The 'P:' convention is just what I use to
denote a Project (as opposed to an Area).
2. I follow GTD here, where anything with more subtasks is itself also
considered another 'project'. You don't have to. In fact one of my
todo keywords is actually PROJECT.
3. I guess you could use SCHEDULED just as well, but if you carefully
read the manual, this is not the intent of SCHEDULED. An appointment
(like this) should simply be a time slot (as I showed above). You can
of course do whatever you like. :)
I have included some things here that I might do which are not strictly
necessary to solving your problem, but hopefully you can adapt this to
your needs.

This results in an HTML file that contains my appointments without the

Unfortunately, I sometimes seem to schedule appointments within open
todos such as:

Of course, those appointments are lost in my agenda export as
specified above. This is a bummer and I want to fix this somehow.
Tasks should be omitted only if there is no other time-stamp than
deadline or scheduled.
org-agenda-skip-if lists:
| scheduled Check if there is a scheduled cookie
| notscheduled Check if there is no scheduled cookie
| deadline Check if there is a deadline
| notdeadline Check if there is no deadline
| timestamp Check if there is a timestamp (also deadline or
scheduled)
| nottimestamp Check if there is no timestamp (also deadline or
scheduled)
| regexpCheck if regexp matches
| notregexp Check if regexp does not match.
| todo Check if TODO keyword matches
| nottodo Check if TODO keyword does not match
How is it possible to accomplish this? I think this would require
something like "Check if there is a timestamp (except deadline or
scheduled)" which isn't available yet.
Any ideas on that one?
I think you will need to write a custom ~org-agenda-skip-function~.
It's late and I am too tired, but if you are still floundering about
after some days, send another mail and I will see what I can do to help.
