Description

This is different then the "assign users to a task" feature request, since there are a bunch of people in my contacts book that I would like to "tag", but who don't have accounts.

If I have a task that says "email person x" or "call person x", where person x is in the nextcloud contacts app, there should be a feild where I can start typing that persons nickname and then see it in a dropdown menue so I can quickly navigate to their contact page or sort tasks based on associated contacts.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by comparing the existing task tag and user-assignment features with the Nextcloud Contacts app integration, then define the contact-selection, navigation, and sorting behavior described here; done means tasks can associate non-user contacts and expose those contacts for navigation and sorting.
