Task Management in Obsidian?

i've been messing around with a task management in obsidian. The thing that's missing for me is the ability to capture something quickly. I'm really trying to recreate what i originally had an and room research, and i just can't do it with the way obsidian is put together. They have these little codes they add to the end of blocks that you can point to that block from other places but it's not like 90 % of the way there.
