Tasks plugin: Is it possible for a query to access tasks queried by another page?

What I’m trying to do

What I’d like to do structurally is have several pages that filter tasks upward toward my Dashboard in terms of specificity.

At the top is my Dashboard, which pulls tasks from my Project pages. My Projects in turn have several Sub-Projects for major tasks involving a lot of steps. These Sub-Projects are where many Tasks are written directly.

Currently my Project pages query all their associated Sub-Projects in order to give a Project-level overview. This all works fine. The next step I’m trying to take is to have my Dashboard query all those Project pages, take every task displayed there (including the tasks previously queried from Sub-Projects), and display them alongside tasks from my daily to-do lists, etc.

The bracketed part is the part I’m having trouble with. Is this possible to achieve? I know that I can achieve the result I want by crafting a more complex query at the Dashboard level and re-querying the Sub-Projects directly, but this seems like it would be simpler if it can be done.

Thanks for your help, and apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. Did some searching but was unable to find an answer.

Added mention of Tasks plugin to title because the only place it was mentioned is in the tag which is easy to overlook.
