In a TFS 2010 build summary, how do I a show a link to the logs from a custom MSBuild task?

Question

In my TFS 2010 build definition, I call MSBuild on my own custom my.targets MSBuild project. It does all the compilation, testing, etc. that I need. Its log file is specified, as is a log drop location, and the log appears properly in that place. However I can't see it in the TFS Build Summary report. The "View Log File" link is grayed out. It seemed to work when the project I was building was a ".sln" file. What magic voodoo is baked deep in to the heart of the common MSBuild files to make this log link work properly, and how can I reproduce it?
