Hi Radek,

Sure it is possible.  You can identify a task by a globally unique id
and clock that in.  I have a function for this but I don't use it
anymore.

I've modified the org-clock-in call to provide the double prefix
argument so it also sets this as the default task.

Now you can just call (bh/clock-in-organization-task) in your .emacs or
bind it to a key to set that task to the default.

(require 'org-id)

(defun bh/clock-in-organization-task ()
  (interactive)
  (bh/clock-in-task-by-id "eb155a82-92b2-4f25-a3c6-0304591af2f9"))

(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 '(16)))))
