Linking to a recurring task with a checklist in Fantastical

I’m trying to keep myself on track during the day and giving time boxing and adding tasks to my calendar another whirl.

I have a recurring calendar item for my Start up and Shut down routine and then a recurring task in Things that contains the checklist that I need to run through. Is there a way to link to that task from the calendar item? It looks like the task ID will change each time.

Is there another way to approach this that I haven’t thought of that will keep this simpler. My biggest issue seems to be that my brain ignores the Things notification.

Interesting challenge.

Does Things offer “find task”-type actions in Shortcuts? If so, you could instead link to a shortcut (shortcuts://run-shortcut?Find%20Startup%20Checklist, etc.) on the calendar item.

Another option might be to use Rules to force-open the Things view you need, provided you’re doing this on a Mac. I wrote about using Rules here: Time Blocking Tips Needed -- Maybe Calendar Sets are the Answer? - #9 by ryanjamurphy

Thanks so much. The running a shortcut idea works a treat.

Thanks again.
