Request feature of searching and viewing all details of an archived task #3299

Problem Statement

Sometimes I want to find an old task and look at all the subtasks and the notes I took. However, when I search, it bring me to the history and it show me only the part that I completed most recently. For example, if I have a task with 5 subtask and last week I completed 4 and yesterday I completed the last subtask and marked the task as done and archived. Today if I go back to search, it'll bring me to yesterday's history and show me the task and the 1 subtask that I finished yesterday, the other 4 are not there. This is frustrating when I want to look at all the subtask. Also, there isn't a way to look at the notes taken from the archived task. I know I can restore the task to today and mark them as complete again, but (1) this isn't an elegent solution and (2) this changed the complete date of the task. Especially if the task is like 1 year old, I don't want when looking at the history found that it is finished recently because I restored it recently just to look at the notes.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

Next to the restore botton of the task, add a "view task" botton that will open up a new interface similar to a project interface but only with that one task and all its subtask and notes. This can be easily done by creating a temporally fake prject, adding the task to the project, and bringing the user to that project menu. But this is just to show what I mean, I know there're less crappy way to do that.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

I am all for it! maybe it could work like a special variant of the task side panel. PRs are very welcome!
