Is it possible when creating a task request to have an add-on which
provides a unique reference and enters it into the task?

Thanks

lol, I might have missed something - Could you tell me how to do this?

One easy way is to use the BillingInformation field that's almost always
unused. That's a string field you can store a number as a string in there or
even a GUID. Or you can use the Item's UserProperties collection:

Set oUserProp = Item.UserProperties.Add("MyProp", olText)
oUserProp.Value = whatever
