I didn't want a link because I wanted to keep the time stamp as
inobtrusive as possible and because I couldn't see how such a link
would be useful.

Both suggestions seem very reasonable.

I've not used planner-timewarp so I don't understand.  I used
planner-today because it was there.

Could be another option?  Another idea is to create a task sorting
function that uses the time stamps if available.
