Can I customize a project dashboard with a link to create a specific type of work item?
Most of my users will be either working on existing work items or creating a custom type. Can I have a link or button on the dashboard to launch a new work item of that type on the dashboard? Of course they can always pull it down from the work item menu, but this will be more obvious for new users.

Re "whats the link to create a work item":
You can copy the URL that appears in your browser when you create a new work item from the Work Items menu. Note that if you drop the ts attribute from the query string, your browser will be redirected to a URL with an updated ts value. For the out of the box defect type, the URL would be: https://SERVER:9443/ccm/web/projects/PROJECT_AREA_NAME#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem&type=defect |

Yes, you can add an HTML widget to the dashboard and add the link or button there. See this topic in the documentation on how to add a widget.
