shortcut to tree

[janrif]

Kinook, it doesn't seem possible to paste a shortcut into the tree.

I had occasion to search for a contact. My contact names are also items.

I copied item & went to my GTD folder & wanted to create a task item like "call <shortcut to name> tomorrow" which would jump me directly to contact form. That didn't work.

i know I can paste the shortcut in text area or note which will jump me but I can't figure out why this carry over to the the tree. Isn't this possible?

You can't create an internal link to an item as part of the title of another item, if that's what you mean. You could either logically link the contact as a child of the task or create an internal link to the contact within the task's form detail area (see attached screen shot).

Yup that's what I meant. I just wondered why this isn't possible. I usually add child to task, then mark task completed & pray that my contact won't be deleted as well. :-). Thanks for your prompt reply.
