Create work items from quick action

Opportunity
There is currently no way to create a task from a quick action. Enabling task creation from quick action would be useful both from within an issue, and to enable task creation as part of issue templates.
While the initial implementation would apply to tasks, the pattern should be agnostic to work item type and allow any valid child type (initially this will only be task from issue).
Proposal
From legacy issues today, and work items once additional types are built:
Create quick action
/add_new_child [type] <title>
Prompt for type selection.
Type can be optional, if excluded default to the first available type. While tasks are the only work item type, tasks will always be the default from Issues.
This could be expanded in the future if needed to allow group/project specification, e.g.
/add_new_child [<location>] [type] <title>
Add quick action
/add_existing_child <#workitem|url>
Prompt for work item on #.
