WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
Tags are powerful means to organize data differently than tree structures, because each object can have different tags and then be shown in different filters, but tags themselves get more powerful when they have a tree-like hierarchy. This makes it possible to tag objects in groups and subgroups and find them by the specific subgroup tag or the higher group tags.
In obsidian and some other tools this is realized as #tag/subtag/subsubtag/…
So when an object has the tag #myday/hourly and another object #myday/twice, each can be shown by a filter for their complete tag, but also in a filter for #myday.
This feature is missing in AnyType.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE?
Define a separator like ‘/’ or ‘#’ or ‘.’ and modify the filter mechanism as described above. It would also be great to have a clickable tree view of the tags hierarchy to see and go to the objects without the need to prepare a collection with filter for each tag
REAL WORLD USE CASES
As mentioned above, as a user I can organize things better with tags than with folder/tree-like structures, because not always things belong only to one parent. Of course you can achieve the same thing by linking things from several parents, but this has to be done manually. Tagging with a hierarchy does this for you automatically and in a more elegant way (see Obsidian).
