Storing escalation records in ServiceNow Table

We have one scenario where from incident table, one incident record can have multiple incident_task records associated to it.

 

And from incident_task table, one incident_task record can have multiple escalation records associated to it. For example, one incident_task record can have multiple escalation records and each escalation record will have its own escalation details against corresponding incident_task record.

 

Can we use OOTB "sn_customerservice_escalation" table for storing the escalation records by associating with incident_task table? Or is this wrong approach for associating sn_customerservice_escalation table with incident_task table?

 

Or Can we use any other OOTB ServiceNow table for storing the escalation records in this hierarchy?

i had a similar question and spoke to ServiceNow who advised against doing this that is was not designed this way to be used against task tables - even though you could use the source/doc ID fields. They said just to create a table off task for this now i just need to figure out what to call it as well it would have been called escalations - i'm thinking task_escalations as it's not just necessarily for INC's
