Ability to link tasks to each other

Would be useful to be able to link/associate a task with another task. This would indicate that the tasks are related or connected in some way. Actually, this could extend to docs, files, and everything. Right now, I am pasting the URL into the comment box of the task but it can get easily lost when there is a bunch of comments and it doesn't really stand out.

    We plan to link tasks, docs, files, and messages within a task, but we can only do so after implementing global search functionality. Cheers,

      Tony Pham: Thanks, if you are using well designed base classes this should make that a lot easier.

      Tony Pham: It's not working. When I click the 'mark as related to' it offers an empty box with nothing to choose from as per this screencap: https://i.imgur.com/Ci6yceF.png - I did log out and log back in again.

      Also, Tony, I have been trying to reach you for weeks with support requests and haven't heard back from you, what can I do to reach you?

      Tracy: I agree… its not working. I dont see such an option, in old tasks created 2 months ago; and new ones that i just created after the feature was shipped… wonder why!

      Tony Pham - just checking on your wellbeing. hope everything is OK. and Happy Holidays!

      Tracy, Yami

      Have you tried reporting these issues to the Helpdesk❓

      It would be good to take screenshots, describe and report to Contact Us:

    It would be very useful to have bidirectional linking between any task/doc/file/etc.

    Recent versions of Evernote are a really good example: you can add a link to another note and the linked note has a 'Backlinks' section that shows all the notes linking to it.

    Another inspiration is Jira, which allows for different link types. So I could declare that one task blocks another task. The blocked task would have an "is blocked by" link.

    🤔

    It's good if when pasting the link you could decide whether Youtube should be Embedded.

    Idea: Notion

    And link tasks to lists would be really helpful as well. Example: in one board, a task can be like a card to track overall progress, but that card might become a full project itself and require a new list to be linked to that task/card
