Reference to a single task

[aleph-naught2tog]

Is there a way to get a reference/link to a single, already existing task? I would like to be able to refer back to existing tasks easily.

For example -- say I have a task "Ask Bob for information about this ticket". I would mark that as a question task, then when I get the answer say a few days later, I would like to make a task, mark it as an answer, and relate it back to that task, or just in any context.

I know Tasks doesn't create dependencies between tasks which is fine, but is there a way to get some reference to a specific task so I can just drop the link myself? I did already read Introduce the concept of task dependencies which has good ideas for dependencies, but not for referring to a single task.

workarounds welcome -- or, if this is something I could do by digging into the API, I'm happy to do that too, just wasn't sure where to start.

The only way I know is to use an Obsidian block link:
