Feature Request: Task forwarding

[ribal-gz]

Proposal

It would be useful no move tasks between notes using the forward - [>] syntax.

For example, you can maintain a TODO note with some pending tasks for a project, and move on of them to the current daily note to start working on it, and even forward it again to another day if you didn't finish the work in time.

project_tasks.md

# Project TODO
- [>] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2
- [ ] Task 3

Daily/2026-07-02.md

# 2026-07-02

## Today tasks
- [ ] Task 1       (moved from project_tasks.md)

User experience

On the editor side, after typing the > character, it could prompt the user to choose the note to move the task to.

From the Tasks view, a new "Forwarded" category could be used to keep track of the tasks, with links to both the original task and the current one.

Task forwarding is in, shipping in the next release (v2.11.0). Thanks for the clear request, @ribal-gz.

How it works

Forwarding moves a task to another note while leaving a record behind, the bullet-journal "migrate" gesture. Three ways to trigger it:

• Type > inside a task's checkbox (turning - [ ] into - [>]) to open a note picker.
• Command palette: "Forward Task to Note…" with the cursor on a task line.
• Tasks list: press > on the selected task.

The original stays as a forwarded record that links to where it went:

- [>] Ship the feature [[Today]]

and a fresh, backlinked copy is added to the note you picked:

- [ ] Ship the feature [[Project tasks]]

Forwarded tasks collect under their own Forwarded group in the Tasks list (kept out of Today and Done), and render as a → marker in the live editor. The [>] state is recognized everywhere tasks are parsed (the desktop app, the MCP server, and the Go sync server).

Try it (once v2.11.0 is out, or build from release/v2.11.0): open a note with - [ ] some task, put the cursor in the checkbox, type >, pick a target note, and press Enter. The task becomes → some task [[Target]], and the target note gets a linked copy. Open the Tasks view in List mode to see the Forwarded group.

It's working great, thank you for implementing it so fast!
