OK, I experimented a little bit with this (I dont use reminders much)
and now I see what your issue is. When you tap a task name on a
reminder, you get a widget-like view of a single item's properties page.
There is no easy clickstream from there to the full app. So you can see
(and edit, within limits) the task that triggered the reminder but no
other tasks. It's not just about subtasks it's about any task other than
the one that kicked the reminder. I have no idea how feasible or
difficult it would be to give you a path to the full task from the reminder.
If this were for me, I would create a "recent reminders"view showing
items whose reminder time fell between five minutes in the future and
one hour in the past and install that view into a widget. When a
reminder went off I would clear it and look at the widget, where I would
see something like "morning checklist". From there it would be five taps
to the full set of subtasks:
1. three dot icon in widget upper right to get the menu
2. "run mlo app" to open the app showing the recent reminders view
3. tap the morning checklist item to highlight it
4. tap the hamburger menu in the top left to get the view menu
5. tap All Tasks to get the hierarchical menu with the morning checklist
selected.
OK I know that this is five taps instead of the one you wanted but there
are no requirements for thinking or decisions so my guess is that of you
do it several times per day, after two weeks your fingers will do it
with no help from your brain in under a second.
it was when I was using a folder as the checklist itself that I had
not been able to use Skip because it isn't available on the phone app.
After you tap an item name in a reminder or swipe left to right over an
item in a task-list you will get a task preview page. A little ways down
from the top is a giant green "skip task" button.
