Hi Darlan,

I'm a little late into this discussion but I used to use a function to
clock in specific tasks based on id.  Just generate a unique id for the
task you want and it should be trivial to map it to a key to jump
directly to that task.

Just use org-id-goto with the id of the task and narrow as required.

Below is my function to clock in a task by id.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun bh/clock-in-task-by-id (id)
  "Clock in a task by id"
  (save-restriction
    (widen)
    (org-with-point-at (org-id-find id 'marker)
      (org-clock-in nil))))

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Some Project
** Some Task
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: w003j861fue0
:END:
* Next project
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

M-x org-id-goto w003j861fue0 RET

I just hardcoded the IDs into my define key functions to get to the task
required.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> m") 'bh/clock-in-read-mail-and-news-task)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> o") 'bh/clock-in-organization-task)


(defun bh/clock-in-organization-task ()
  (interactive)
  (bh/clock-in-task-by-id "437c2cde-fbf0-491f-92ba-51bae487b338"))

(defun bh/clock-in-read-mail-and-news-task ()
  (interactive)
  (bh/clock-in-task-by-id "85c2e69b-6f37-4236-8896-4f7dd86047c1"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
Bernt
