</span>Simon, could you please explain do you need this at the first place? I<br>
can imagine this case only if your two plugins are kinda dependent on<br>
each other. In this case, it's better to do what was said by Andrew W.<br>
- set 'Task Y' to require 'Task X' and that requirement will be<br>
satisfied anyway (even if Task X doesn't exist in the graph).<br>

<br>
</span>Yeah, I think that may be useful sometime. However, I'd prefer to<br>
avoid anchor usage as much as possible. There's no guarantees that<br>
other plugin didn't make any destructive actions early, that breaks<br>
you later. Anchors is good way to resolve possible conflicts, but they<br>
aren't bulletproof.<br>
