I'd think this was fairly simple. Right now, you could do it like this 
in the document:
    \begin_layout Section
    \comment Here is the comment.
    Section text as before.
Editing such things could be done via a simple dialog popped from a 
context menu, both in the main text and in the outliner. What's not so 
clear is where this goes in the internal representation of the document. 
As a paragraph parameter? This seems like yet another reason to want 
paragraph groups.
