Hammock Tasks and VBA
First of all I should note that Paste Links are prone to corruption. They use dated DDE protocol for OLE links that I found to be "shakey" under older versions of Project and as I noted, doesn't appear to work correctly under Windows 10 (at least for me), although it may work under Windows 10 if applications are set to run as admin.
Using Application.ObjectLinks will open the Edit Links window and that will show all the OLE links in the current file. Unfortunately the link data presented is not very useful (i.e. only gives the project name and a link number). The "source" task can be identified by selecting a link and using the Open Source button but there is no "destination" info that identifies which task is the destination.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
On creating the tasks I will just have to live with the copy/paste method - c’est la vie
I have had a quick play with the Application.ObjectLinks method.
So this gives me a binary yes/no on whether links exist, so there is no way to query the links themselves to find to/from data?
I was hoping to find a way of identifying which specific tasks were the hammock tasks
