Background: The primary use of tasks today is Concierge assigning a specific set of onboarding task to the user. Each task currently has a numbered list of steps, generally ending with a link we want them to click. However, we see that some users don't realize the task can be clicked, meaning they don't see the instructions, meaning they don't click the link.

Problem: When new users don't realize the task title is clickable, they don't see the instructions, and thus don't do the call to action.

Solution: Please render task names using the same markdown>html processing as we do normal comments, to allow hyperlinks to be put into titles, in order to shorten the path to the CTA to one click. In other words, make task titles work like task descriptions:
