[FR]: Support for placing new tasks in current folder #1541

Feature Description

Feature Request:

Having the ability to run the Create new task or Create new inline task command (via the sidebar button or the command palette) and have the created note placed in the folder of the current active note (with no other side effects).

Context:

Currently there are two methods to make tasks:

  1. Create new task, which will only place the note in the Default tasks folder which does not support adding to the current folder (to the best of my knowledge, testing, and reviewing of the docs)
  2. Create new task inline: which can have the desired effect of placing the new task in the current notes folder (with {{currentNotePath}} set in the Folder for converted tasks config). But this command has the unwanted side effect of adding a link to the new task in the current file, creating backlinks and unwanted connections, even when run from command palette.

Implementation Ideas:

  1. Support a new config setting that will not add the new task inline to the current file. This would stop the new task from placing a link to the new inline task (effectively adding it to the current folder with no unwanted side effects). It could go under "Inline Tasks" in the Features section of the settings
  2. Support {{currentNotePath}} (or some comparable toggle or string variable) for the Default tasks folder setting
