How to get the body of an email into an OF task

I convert emails over to tasks a lot and I noticed OF will use the headings of the emails as the new task name when creating a task from within the email program. Is there a way to put the body of the text I selected there instead? Usually I just want to refer to a few sentences of the email in the task but would like for it to still link back to the original email like it does now.

If you select some text in the body of the email and then clip, it will include that text in the notes field of the action in addition to the ‘Original Message’ link, but the action title will still default to the subject line of the email (which you could edit).

I think I would rather it put the highlighted text in the action title. Sometimes I will have five actions from the same email and in this case OF just repeats the headline five times. It would be more useful to show me the selected text. Being able to expand the task is OK but not as convenient.
