Create task with properties at once?

calvin.spealman Pro says:

Is there anyway, in RTM or with some extra tool, to create a task with some syntax that adds tags, due date, and other properties at the same time i create it?

For example, in SlimTimer I create tasks with tags by listing them in square brackets. In some systems i can write "Take out the trash tomorrow" and it sets the due date. It would save me time when brain dumping into RTM if I could do this.

Pardon what must seem repetitive, but when I see the same good ideas surfacing over and over, I am compelled to note the fact.

The idea of parsing the text in the data entry field, and in inbound emails, has been around since RTM was wet behind the ears, and I have watched the idea resurface over and over. Heck, much of this can already be done with RTM using the Firefox extension in Gmail.
