"mailto:"-like link that opens new task

[Wowbagger]

Just as a mailto: link will open a new message window in outlook is there a
similar link that can be incorporated onto a webpage that, when clicked,
will open a window for the creation of a new task?

There isn't a url type for tasks, but, one thing I can think of is to create
the 'basic' task in your outlook, drag it to your desktop and upload that to
your webserver. Point the URL to that file for downloading and make sure
your users understand what they need to do.

Otherwise, you'd be looking at doing some VBA scripting

create the task.
