Automation around creating tasks from timesheets

[Legacy User]

I'm trying to find a way to allow users to create tasks in timesheets conditional on a project manager's approval.  I was hoping to use a process to achieve this, and to have it kick off any time a task was created by someone other than the PM.  When mocking it up, however, it doesn't want to kickoff from the timesheet, only from creating a new task from within a project.  Is there any way to start a process on the task object from within a timesheet?  Do you have any other suggestions on how to execute this idea?

This is what comes to my mind

 

Scenario1:

1. Create an object to capture the necessary project/task details

2. The resource would fill up the details and save them. Then they manually start a process that send an action item to the PM.

    2.1 If the PM approves the action item, kick off a process similar to this (https://communities.ca.com/message/118459057 )

    2.2 If the PM rejects, no action taken

 

Scenario2:

1. Create a sub-page within the project to capture the necessary task details

2. The resource would fill up the details and save them. Then they manually start a process that send an action item to the PM.

We hadn't been thinking of the custom object route, but it should work pretty well.  Thanks for the ideas!!
