I would like to be able to use tags as data for a given property that is not the default “tags” property. For instance, tags could be the property type for a “Company” property so that when I search for #CocaCola, the results will include both uses of the tag and files where the “Company” property is #Cocacola.
“Tags” would be a property type in addition to “Text,” “List,” “Date,” etc.
As an alternative, it could be possible to recognize text properties if formatted as a tag, e.g.
Company: "#CocaCola"
I opened a separate, slightly different, request for this: Recognize tags in text property when formatted as "#tags"
I would like this too. Either way.
Another potential solution/workaround would be to use nested tags. For example #company/cocaCola
I believe Tag Wrangler will also organize the nested tags as “folders”
I use tag wrangler already for somewhat similar applications. Probably the best workaround.
Yes - please add the option to create a specific property and give it a “tag type.” I don’t understand why only the default “tags” property can be “tag type.”
I just started using properties and was surprised that I couldn’t do this! It would be lovely to organise “types” of tags without having to make everything nested. I was going to use it to differentiate my “category” (ie daily-note, personal, research) tags and my “topic/subject” (ie knitting, math, etc) tags.

You may be thinking of the TagFolder plugin
No, I’m thinking of Tag Wrangler. The ReadMe says it supports child tags.
