Some tasks are dependent on the completion of other tasks. It would be nice to have this option. So you do not have to postpone a task until the other tasks is completed.
This is a much needed feature w.r.t task prioritisation and visualisation. Not having linked/dependent tasks is almost a deal-breaker if it weren't for everything else in Akiflow being so good

Aman Lodha: Really appreciate you sharing this — totally understand how important task dependencies are for prioritization and planning. We’ll keep this in mind!

Hi Yoan. What do you think of this other existing thread? We could add your vote here if you think that they are relevant :)
I would love this too - speifically, I'd use it for dependencies (IE if a task can't be done until another one is done, I'd really love to be able to throw that task in the "links" section to make sure I'm not working ahead on something that needs to wait.

Exactly, some tasks are also subtasks of others. I really would like to be able to relate tasks to each other also as subtasks. For example, when I send tasks from emails, which helps me get the information directly, so I want to keep this task but it could very well be a subtask of another one, and totally dependant. I would also like to have a pending status, to clear all tasks that are not feasible right now…

Stefania, currently I used it to connect tasks in Tana with tasks in Akiflow. I would be useful for any kind of app that does not directly integrate with Akiflow, yet. It would also be useful if you want to reference a task in any kind of notes app.
Implementation would probably be not very hard if you just use the URL for the focus mode display of the task that is already there, and make an option somewhere to quickly copy this URL. Bonus would be a switch in the settings to open up all web app links in the desktop app if available.

Karsten Jennissen - do you use Zapier to connect Tana and Akiflow? i was able to use the generic part of the URL ( https://web.akiflow.com/#/focus-mode/ ) and then plug the task ID in at the end which generates a URL. it does connect to the web in focus mode, but it is a (admittedly poor) workaround.

Brian not yet, I have not tried to connect Tana via third party tools (Zapier and others). I really like Tana a lot, but connecting it with other tools requires to learn a lot of tech details and it is not intuitive at all. Hope they make it easier in the future.

i would especially like that ability to select whether to open the task in the web or the desktop app. right now the URL opens on the web.
