"No annotation found." is misleading. Replace by "No compatible annotation found."

Hi. I am trying to add the taskopen feature to taskwarrior. First I create a task and add a Note with the command:

task add project:Test TestTask
Created task 3. 
task 3 annotate TestNote

Running task info 3 produces the output:

1 task
sebastian@seb:~/taskopen$ task info 3

Running taskopen 3 produces the output:

No annotation found.

I believe that "No annotation found" means "No annotation found that taskopen knows how to handle". Instead of annotating "TestNote", try instead "http://www.bbc.co.uk". Then when you use taskopen it should open it with your browser.

@SNBasti, sorry I missed that you opened this issue. Actually @scottkosty is absolutely right, thanks for filling in for me ;-)

This is related to issue #24, which is, imho, the taskopen showstopper. I still believe taskopen would have many more uses if existing functionality could be applied to non-link-type annotations. On Mar 12, 2016 4:17 AM, "Johannes S." notifications@github.com wrote:

..and I apologize for being such a persistent ass about it. ;-)

@linuxcaffe I think I now found a solution by adding a TEXT_REGEX option in taskopenrc and implementing the command line switches -t/-T. However, there is still a partial showstopper on the taskwarrior side (see TW-1821).
