Format

ghapp://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/tasks/{taskId}

webhttps://github.com/copilot/app/launch?open=ghapp%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F{owner}%2F{repo}%2Ftasks%2F{taskId}

Try it

ghapp://github.com/octocat/Hello-World/tasks/4f2b9c1eOpen

What you supply

{owner}

The user or organisation the repository belongs to.

{repo}

Repository name.

{taskId}

The GitHub task id.

Read it off the task on github.com. Not the app's own session id, and not a runtime session id — those belong to ghapp://sessions/{id}, which opens something else entirely.

Two different ids can be called a session here, and only one of them works. This route wants the task as GitHub knows it. ghapp://sessions/{id} opens a workspace local to the app, which is a different object that happens to look like the same thing.
