After clarifying with your team, I understand that reminders created from tasks don’t actually retain any persistent link to those tasks; they just inherit the name and live independently in the "Home" page. Once created, there’s no native way to get back to the task from the reminder itself. That’s not just counterintuitive in my opinion, it’s a design gap.
There are a few issues with this:
  • There is no clickable link or connection to the original task after the reminder is created.
  • You can’t even add notes or rich content to the reminder natively, so there’s no place to paste the task URL unless you convert it to a task (which defeats the purpose of lightweight reminders).
  • The UX implies you're setting a reminder on a task, but you're really just creating an orphaned alarm that floats in Home.
At a minimum, please consider:
  • Automatically linking reminders created from within tasks back to those tasks.
  • Allowing users to edit reminder bodies and add task URLs, notes, or context.
  • Showing some visual indication in the reminder that it originated from a task.
