The benefit is that I do not need to search for that "paragraph N" when
I want to work on the task. I simply jump to the task location and can
immediately see the paragraph it refers to.

Also, pdf export of such inlinetask will nicely mark the TODO item in
the manuscript draft, so that I can print things, and still see what
should be done in that particular location of the manuscript.
