Good read! So far, I’ve been thinking of links and tags based on their initial purpose:
- A link points/directs the reader to another file.
- A tag marks a note (if it’s in the metadata) or a part of a note. This helps with search filters and general grouping.
Also, since tags also use the search bar, they can be starred!
For the part about “does not automatically get a counter of any kind”, do the counters on Backlinks and Outgoing links panes not count? Or, are you referring to something like what the Block Reference Counter plugin does?
