Let a worker reference a specific task when they ask questions on the forum

The problem

A worker is trying to reference “some of these” tasks to give feedback. This can be difficult to establish common ground: which tasks specifically have the issues? Can I see them? It feels like it’s working around a lack of ability to comment on a specific task. Example: https://forum.daemo.org/t/count-the-number-of-statistical-tests-in-a-research-paper/322/10

The proposal

I propose we find a way to let a worker ask a question about a specific task, which gets linked on the forum. That way the requester can look.

Open question: would workers use this? The worker thinks so: “Yes - I think that would be helpful to call out a specific task so that on my side and yours we know specifically what we’re talking about.”

I think this may already be possible, like by linking to the specific task: https://www.daemo.org/task/61141/

The question is whether we want to make this even easier.

Right now if the task URL would work and allow the requester to see the task that the worker is calling out, then we’re good.

fyi the issue template has been updated earlier today which makes “the proposal” section conditional
