Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a note is created by OM it's difficult for OSM Contributors to find a correlation between the Note and the OSM Object (Way, Node, Relation). This is especially difficult when the OSM Object has since been deleted.

Describe the ideal solution
Write a link to the OSM Object or the ID of the OSM Object into the note.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Additional context
Example:

Original note:
"peut être plutôt photomaton"
The place has gone or never existed. A user of Organic Maps application has reported that the POI was visible on the map (see snapshot date below), but was not found on the ground.
OSM snapshot date: 2023-11-11T04:04:35Z
POI has no name
POI types: wheelchair-limited shop-photo

Expected solution:
"peut être plutôt photomaton"
The place has gone or never existed. A user of Organic Maps application has reported that the POI was visible on the map (see snapshot date below), but was not found on the ground.

That would be nice, but it's not possible because Organic Maps doesn't store OSM IDs.

Okay, I understand, if the OSM ID isn't stored, it cannot add it.
But it's possible to edit a poi, so somehow it has or can establish a connection to the osm id.
Could the same mechanism be used to add a link in the note?

The editor queries the OSM API to check if there is some node at a specific location. It only works for nodes and not for ways or areas.
So it might be possible to use the same approach for linking Nodes with OSM IDs.
