I suggest:
  mi djica lo siho mi citka lo snuji
or, more tersely & more vaguely (though surely not too vague for the
context):
  mi djica lo siho snuji
or, even more tersely:
  mi djica le snuji
where "le snuji" refers to an idea about me eating a sandwich. (This
works only if LE is -veridical.)

But, since I expect that out of laziness people would say
"mi djica lo siho mi citka lo snuji" even when they mean "There
is a sandwich that I want" (instead of "Da poi snuji zohu mi
djica lo siho mi citka da"), I think there should be an explicit
marker showing whether the lo-sumti in a subordinate bridi can
be put before the zohu - i.e. markers for +/-"exportable".
