Yep, you're thinking in correct direction.

There is a way to do that without patches I think. Use callbacks to
add that link to tickets' actions (Take, Open, bla-bla) or
tabs(Display, History, bla-bla). Read the wiki about callbacks.

Your understanding is quite correct you should add a link that points
to /Ticket/Create.html with some default arguments, for example for
"create dependant ticket" you have to pass id of the current ticket,
name of the argument should be "new-DependsOn".

Is it clear?
