### Use case or problem

My vault heavily relies on hierarchical tags, and I like to browse through the graph view. The problem is that when I hover over a hierarchical tag, it only shows nodes with that exact tag. For example, if I hover over `#Work`, it only highlights nodes with the `#Work` tag and if I hover over `#Work/ProjectA`, it only highlights nodes with the `#Work/ProjectA` tag.

### Proposed solution

Selected tags should highlight all narrower tags and nodes with any narrower tag in the graph view. Ideally, there could even be a toggle option to select whether Obsidian should only highlight nodes tagged with the exact level of a tag or all narrower tags as well.

I agree. The breadcrumbs plugin establishes this relationship but in moving from logseq to obsidian this is a feature I’d like to see implemented
