I think IDs are more stable than headlines.  If the headline is the id
of the node, then changing one single char of the headline can make it
invisible for other nodes refering to it.  With IDs as properties you
don't need to care about the headline.

* My task
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       q8ic5nz0voe0
  :END:

Try M-x org-store-link with the cursor within this subtree, 
and then try M-x org-insert-link -- it will insert this:

[[id:q8ic5nz0voe0][My task]]

Since "My task" is just a label, no problem, the headline can change the
link will still be okay.  You can even link between different files, it
will be okay.

See above.

For me I just bind org-store-link to C-c l and that's it...

For me it is here - maybe I don't understand?
