QuestionRecommended way to deal with queues and pointers to buffers Pin

I am working with embedded programming in standard C and there are 2 microcontrollers communication with each other using a home-made protocol. The scheduler and task queues are also home-made so no realtime operating system is used. My tasks look like this:
C++
void (*task_t)(uint8_t* taskData, uint16_t sizeOfTaskDataInBytes);
My add-task-to-queue-function looks like this:
C++
Bool_t addTaskToQueue(queueSelector_e, task_t, uint8_t* taskData, uint16_t sizeOfTaskDataInBytes);
Please note that the taskData is also inserted into the queue (in an area called task data pool area) so it's not just a pointer to taskData that is being queued. The task data to write data from microcontroller 1 to microcontroller 2 needs to look something like this:
C++
struct writeRegTaskData_s {
    uint32_t startAddr;
    uint16_t numRegsToWrite;
    uint8_t dataToWrite[numRegsToWrite]; // When I want the data to be put inside the queue as well
or
    uint8_t* dataToWrite // When I have a big static buffer that I don't want to put inside the queue
}
The problem is with the dataToWrite parameter. Sometimes a lot of data will be written, for example, during a firmware upgrade, and then it's overkill to put all the dataToWrite into the queue, it's perfectly fine to have one static buffer. At other times, for example when reacting to different push button events, I want to put my dataToWrite on the stack and then add it into my task queue. However, when I do this, I must make sure dataToWrite points to the proper location inside my task queue data pool and not on the original buffer on the stack. What's the recommended way to solve this issue in a clean way?
