Using Simpletask cloudless I have .txt files in different locations in my folder structure alongside other files in the same folders. Finding and opening these .txt files with Simpletask is currently not quick. To obtain instant access to any todo, could home-screen shortcuts be created, to any specified .txt file?
For instance a long-press on a file when in 'Open task list file' could give the option to create a home-screen shortcut to that .txt file.
When the home-screen shortcut is used, Simpletask would open with that .txt file.

Opening a shortcut like this would require an android file handler. This works fine when opening the file for reading.
However it is not possible to configure a change listener on this file so any changes being made in the background to this file could be overwritten.
