Native Functionality Request: Attach URLs to Tasks and Subtasks

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.
