Reassigning tasks to resources not already part of project plan

[Suze]

I am creating projects and assigning the majority of the tasks to team
leaders, who are then reassigning to various resources on their teams.

Although these resources are members of the team and can assign the tasks to
themselves, they don't appear on the drop-down menu for the Reassign Work
feature, I"m assuming because I don't have them assigned specifically to a
task.

Is there a way around this, other than creating a dummy task with ALL the
potential resources on it?
