Intellij IDEA Persistent Changelists (after commit)?

Question

In Intellij IDEA 9 or 10, is there something akin to a persistent changelist? I'd like to continue to monitor a list of files after the commit; I'd like to continue making updates based upon a single use case or (JIRA) ticket.

Favorites are not as intuitive as changelists as they cannot group units of work into separate concerns. It's a single list I have to actively maintain. In addition, I'd like to be able to track a file separately across multiple changelists.

Lastly, I've looked around for a plugin that may accomplish this, but haven't found anything.

Thanks for your help.
