I don't see how to do it with a tree structure, and Org-mode is very
tree-oriented.  

Maybe we can emulate this by having just a flat list of tasks and by
adding two properties :Parents: and :Children:, each one indexing the
parents' ids and the children ids.  But I don't see clearly how useful
it would be.  

Maybe you have something specific in mind?
