Assign Audits to Work Order directly from Audit/Retain audit for annual use

We're building audits that I need to assign to various workers. Currently, I have to create a work order and put a link to the audit in notes. I'd like to be able to create a WO from the audit, or to at least be able to assign to various users from the audit.

I'd also like to retain the audit for future assignment after it's been submitted/completed for this year; something akin to building a report that we can run whenever needed. I don't want to have to re-build all of these audits every time we need to audit something.
