ivorygates, and I am shamelessly stealing it for the next Alphabet Soup.
(Which needs a name. "Canon-implied Alphabet Soup" lacks a certain oomph. Any suggestions?)
Edit:green_grrl suggests "Off-screen missions." I like that one!
The premise is simple: many episodes of SG-1 reference a past or future mission. The most famous of these, I think, is the mission referenced in Emancipation to P3X-595 where Sam "drank that stuff that made you take off..." and the final frame of The Enemy Within, which ends with the team striding through the Stargate for their first mission together.
Other examples:
Establishing the base on Hanka, before Nirrti unleashed the plague in Singularity.
Missions to help the Enkarans, since Scorched Earth begins with the people settled in their new home.
The first mission to Juna, before Cronus showed up in Double Jeopardy.
Missions to establish peaceful relations with the Unas after The First Ones but before Beast Burden.
Followup to Beneath the Surface, getting the brainwashed victims moved to a safer, warmer planet.
Teal'c's adventures off-world during Solitudes, trying to find Sam and Jack.
All these popped into my brain after two or three minutes of glancing over a list of episodes. There must be many, many more, and they don't necessarily have to be SG-1 (how many times did Reynolds take his team to Thilana's planet?). So I would like to invite you all to comment here with your suggestions. The format of my examples above would be just fine. Include the name of the episode or an obvious plot line - "what happened to Sam and Jack and Teal'c while they were stuck off-world until they got the Stargate back up" is a good reference to Small Victories, but "that ep where Jack fires his P-90" won't be much help. ;) I'll go through the comments and collate them over the next several days and we'll see what we can come up with!
Here's the organized list of suggestions so far! They're all wonderful and I hope we'll get lots more. :)
A few of the suggestions were a little too broad to fit the premise - for example, what happened to Nyan after he was offered asylum on Earth? - but I would suggest anyone looking for fic inspiration to scroll through the comments for some great ideas.

This is a great idea. I took a look at season 8 and found the following:
Lockdown
The mission that Daniel and SG-11 were supposed to go but got cancelled when he was possessed by Anubis. Presumably, the mission was completed at a later date.
Zero Hour
SG-8 is in P6J-908 from where they bring a fast growing plant
SG-2 went to P8F-809
SG-5 went to Amora for a trade agreement, bringing the representatives back. Was there a follow up mission?
Icon
Daniel’s possible second trip to the Rand Protectorate (before he returns for the 3rd time and gets trapped there).
Avatar
SG1 (?) return mission to the Game Keeper's planet to acquire his virtual reality technology.
Covenant
Carter’s mission to the Asgard to ask them for help with the “empty” clone Colson made. Thor and Jack’s visit to the White House
Sacrifices
Teal’c trip to Hak’tyl when he finds out his son is getting married. Presumably, there were various missions to find the Hak’tyl a new planet.
Endgame
NID undertook rogue missions to kill Jaffa with nerve gas.
And that's all I found...
