Hello:

Yes, you can use the trigger "when a new message is posted", and it provides you with dynamic content including the message unique ID (triggerOutputs()?['body/id']

Then you can use the TEAMS function "get message details":

This provides you with an extended set of dynamic content, including the link.

Then you can for instance mail the link to somebody.

That's it!!

Thank's, I still don't get it how to get it into the task - I don't find a possibility to tell what has to be in notes, not just in headline

Oh, you are right, the Task in planner:

You first create the task using the following block:

Title and designated users can be produced from the dynamic data from the message, but this does not have the description field.

For that you need to use the "Update Task Details_V2" block:

In this case, I used the message subject as task title, and the message body (in plan text) as task description.

As you can see, you can even create or modify checklists and checklist items, link to existing files, etc...

Careful: When you add this block, the ID field tries to list all possible available tasks, but at the end of the list you have the possibility to "Enter manually". If you do so, you can get the ID of the freshly created task from the dynamic content.

So, the total flow is like this, in blocks:
