If you do a 'Copy link to task', you will see the unique GUID for the task after the /task/ portion in the URL. You can also just query the Dataverse table (the table name is msdyn_projecttask and the column is msdyn_projecttaskid, the task name is msdyn_subject).

where is it? I copied the link to the task but I can't see a /task/ portion in the URL (some elements removed):

  Just open the project, select a task and the projectid and taskid will be displayed in the address bar. It will look like this https://project.microsoft.com/- your tenant -/en#/taskgrid?projectId=222eee37-ee45-eeee-eeee-eeeef8501f6a&taskId=99EEA999-9990-F991-9A99-9999BDD3B999&taskMode=
  
  You can also copy the task and paste the value into notepad, but it contains more info and is harder to decipher.
