Problem:
Links pasted in descriptions/comments get buried, are slow to click (you have to wait for the link card to expand) and aren’t first-class attachments.
Workarounds exist (custom field) but are clumsy, restricted to single links, and make the links harder to read.
A native solution would be more secure, elegant, and expand Asana’s use cases.
Solution:
Allow links to be added as attachments to tasks and subtasks. Single click to open.
Proposed Behaviour:
-
Paperclip menu → URL
-
Fields: URL (https://) Link text (optional)
-
Creates an attachment tile with a globe/link icon
-
Shows URL under tile (cut off at max char), full link on hover
-
Single click opens the URL
-
Counts as an attachment for search/filters/columns/reporting.
Request is similar to: Add native “Attach URL” to tasks
