> My suggestion, is there a way to allow a user defined comment/description field to an action outside of the action itself so that you can save things that you might find useful down the road and you can remember just what they do...?

I support this request.  
And it is not alone that I could need it for complex regular expressions.  
Very often after some time I don't remember what I put in action groups and have to look again inside.  
So additionally I would appreciate a tooltip with the content of such a personal description when you hover over the action with the mouse.

Till we hopefully get this feature look here for helpful workarounds:
