In my initial email we were attempting this with the default theme, but
aren't seeing it work.

The features we are trying to implement are not really a subset any of
these current tasks and we would like to have a separate page for them.
Is creating tasks a planned feature to eventually be added to the plugin
API or is there another way we could achieve this?
Is it possible to achieve this via creating a separate file within the
plugin directory and pointing to it (similar to squirrelmail)?
Thanks!
