I think it would be good to do eventually but it's not hugely important
(to me).  I've been living with the current behaviour for a long time.

I post some of my task lists in HTML and paste a link to a task by
navigating to it from the TOC.  This allows other people to get directly
to the target task but it is fragile and only works for a short period
of time.

If I change the structure of the tasks above the linked-to item (archive
something to a different file, reorder tasks, etc) and export the
document again then the old link now goes to the wrong place.  It would
be better to use a link that survives document restructuring instead.
I've been too lazy to create manual links for my tasks -- I have tons of
tasks and I might link to 3 or 4 of them in 6 months so I haven't
bothered creating a manual link and re-exporting just for that.

This workflow would however would fix the issue I'm having with it - and
it's all supported right now -- except I have to write the link
manually.  If the link was used in the TOC instead of the standard link
then I would just

  - create the link
  - export
  - go there from the TOC and paste the URL wherever I need it

That would remove the error-prone step of creating the link manually
when passing it along to someone else.

Just my two cents.
