That's an interesting idea I thought about some time ago.

But I decided it's not worth it.  Very complicated and unreliable (I
might have two or more clocking tasks related to the same file, for
example).

It's better to train oneself to remember about clocking, I guess.

(And I have this notification nagging me if I'm not clocking anything
for 2 minutes or more.)

Best,
