Linking an RTM Task to another RTM task
Every Task that you create in RTM has its own unique URL. This can prove very useful. Sometimes Tasks can get a bit over-complicated and involved especially if they relate to a big project. I'm a big fan of Getting Things Done and the concept of the next Action. If you have an ongoing Task and you just want a bit of that project to be reminded of, the best way of doing this is to set up the reminder as a new Task in its own right and then link it to the main Task by copying the URL of the main Task into the sub Task's URL box when setting the 'sub-Task' up. That way, everything remains linked.

Really nice feature and I also find those URLs from the web, anyway it will be nice from Bob (RTM team) to implement the opening of those links inside of the Desktop client (which is anyway just WebKit renderer). But it's tricky this "external" URLs which are triggering the opening of the another application (default web browser), pushing you to login again to display the task which is already available in the desktop app :-(
It will be nice to have those link automatically "translated" into HTML renderer which is built-in the desktop app.

I love this idea, but when i put in a url, when i click on it, the web app reloads (the link opens a new tab in Chrome). I think i'm basically repeating what ventil says.. this kind of hurts the utility for me in the web app.....
I think the solution might be if the URL field will work with 'internal' links differently than 'external' ones.
I can't get over the amazing possibilities of using this kind of inter-task linking...
One thing that might change things for me is i tend to use 'repeat after' a lot and since that would create a new url, i might have to rethink how i 'complete' stuff.
Still, amazing i never noticed this.
Also, the URLs are interestingly structured... i replaced the numbers from one of my urls with 0s in the below... the first 0 is the list, the second is a task in that list, and the third is a sub task in that task.

So cool.
