I often create tasks such as "Check this ticket/website for updates" with a start date.  In the notes field I include a link to the page.  However there seems to be no way of adding a note directly from the rapid task entry.  Once entered, I have to go hunting for that task, find it, and update the note.  

Is there an easier way? I would love to be able to do something like "Foo // the note" as I can in Remember the Milk.

If you uncheck the option "Multiple task entry", the first line will be a parsed as a task name and its properties, other lines will be placed to the note.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip, Alyona.

I didn't know that either!  Thanks Alyona.

Could a ticket be created to add that bit of information to MLO's help documentation, or make it clear on the UI somewhere?  I searched the help many, many times and looked everywhere, and it took me a trip to the forum to find the answer.

It is mentioned in our manual (page 108, "To select Single task entry mode"). We're planning to add such tips&tricks to our site as well.
