Sync a Chat Comment with a Task

I think when creating a new chat thread in a channel, if you @@mention a Task, have a prompt appear that asks if you want to post/link to the task comments (or if not just reference the task). This way you have 2 options, ie 1) make the chat public to the task or 2) keep the chat private. Even more preferable is to actually be creating the task comment within the chat channel. ie the channel chat and task comment is one and the same.
Similarly if a comment is made on a task, then the option to see the comment in the chat channel hierarchy would be fantastic. ie ultimately I believe chat channels, should display a hierarchy of chats/comments beneath the channel. ie Space>>folder>>Subfolder>>list>>task>>subtask or an option to roll up comments to the channel

When you all think about linking a Message/Thread/Conversation to a Task, what is your expectation?
When I post a Task link into a Chat thread...
- ...that Thread becomes automatically linked to the Task and I can now see the same conversation inside Chat AND inside the Task.
- ...I have the option with a small UI to manually link the thread to that Task. When not actively linking the message, it won't show up
- ...the message is linked under todays relationship section inside the Task. I can navigate from my Task comments to the Linked Objects/Relationship section and from there I can navigate to the Chat message
Please let me know which of the option is what you had in mind, or share your own vision. Please also let me know WHY you think it should work like this and how that would improve your workflow.
Thanks!

Philipp Berner thinking of when I chat someone real quick on a question that's related to a task, I'd like to be able to see that chat message within the chat when applicable.
In an ideal world, I'm commenting directly in the task but if I use chat instead for a faster response, would be good to associate that message with the chat after the fact

Philipp Berner #3 is preferred over #2 for me. Typically when I'm sharing a task link to a Chat thread it's a "Hey, I created an actionable item for this conversation" or "We are already tracking this here". Adding the relationship provides a quick way for me to reference where these conversations have happened and how many times it's coming up.
#1 would also be great but needs to be handled smoothly. I see this as an opt-in rather than automatic.

I'd be interested in an option where a chat channel is entirely linked to a task, instead of the current association to a list or folder.
I'd also like the ability to push a chat thread into a task's comments section, on demand (via dropdown menu in chat).

Duncan Owen: Can you expand on the use case for me on linking a entire channel to a Task. Where and how would that help your workflow.
Duncan Owen
Sure Philipp Berner . Our setup is space (business area), folder (client), list (data repository or area for tasks).
Two use cases:
1) In the data repository list, we have a budget task (at a client level). The task contains any information about client budgets, but discussion about coming budgets or messages to the team could be had in chat format.
2) In the actionable tasks list, let's say we're onboarding a new client, and have a primary onboarding SoP task, with a raft of subtasks for different team members. Chat around onboarding would be great to have linked just to that specific period of time - rather than in the general client chat channel.

Would like to extend this to also have the option to associate a whole chat thread with a task.
