Is it possible (with a setting or with a plugin) to write Tags in the YAML front matter with the hash sign?
Here in example: When I want to add the tag lambda_calculus to a note, I would like to write at the beginning of my note
---
tags: #lambda_calculus
---
Is this possible? (The reason is that other tools working on the same files need the hash sign in front of a tag term to recognise it as a tag, even in the front matter.)
I saw the post Cannot follow links or tags in front-matter in edit view - Bug graveyard - Obsidian Forum discussing a similar issue, but it’s not clear to me whether a plugin can solve the hash issue.
Many thanks for any pointers!

The YAML format below will pass validation and work with something like Dataview, but … caveat, caveat, caveat.

tags: ['#tag1', '#tag2', '#tag3']

But YAML is being lined up for a big overhaul:
# Roadmap
The full span of functionality that Datacore will eventually encompass.
## Views
Views in Datacore are editable and no longer use the Dataview Query Language. You can still write complex-looking
statements / columns using the Dataview Expression Language (a subset of the query language which supports math,
string operations, list operations, and so on).
- [ ] **Table**: The standard columnar table view.
- [ ] **List**: The standard list view, which just lists elements.
- [ ] **Embed List**: A special list which just renders a list of embedded pages
- [ ] **Card**: A card-based view which supports a title and card content.
- [ ] **Grouped**: A special view which allows for splitting query results into subgroups, and render a separate
table / list / card view for each group.
Each view will have the following general functionality:
- [ ] **Adding / Removing Fields**: You can easily add/remove fields. Autocompletion is supported.
