How about doing something like isearch does: at the "Describe Task: "
prompt, C-y inserts something into the minibuffer according to context
[in this case, the note title]. It would be simpler to implement than
in isearch: I think you would have to do something like temporarily
push the note title onto the kill ring and remove it afterwards.

But it might be annoying if you had already copied something to use as
a description as you would have to do C-y M-y.
