Okay, I found out how to do create a unique ID, by defining a template
like this:

org-capture-templates '(("t" "Task" entry (file "~/todo.txt")
                         "* foo\n :PROPERTIES:\n  ID:
%(shell-command-to-string \"uuidgen\")  :END:")
                        )

Now, I just need a way to quickly insert a link to this newly created ID.
