Maybe Ctrl-Shift-M is what you're searching for? :)

Maybe such a feature could be implemented in the plugin. I'd suggest you
to file a feature request at sourceforge [1].

I'd expect that this needs to be done in the scintilla language lexer, specifically the lexer needs to look for TODO within comments. I presume you got it to work outside comments by setting TODO as a keyword, but lexers don't ignore keywords in comments, strings etc, after all thats the language definition :-)
In fact AFAIK no lexer looks for any structure within a comment. A plugin would be "fighting" the lexer to style that bit of text so I doubt it would work.
Cheers
