I haven't used the linked tags feature much until now and I'm having a hard time understanding, conceptually, how they work. My assumption was that a tag linked to term A would be different from that tag linked to term B.
For instance, if I have a link tagged origami>tutorials and another tagged vim>tutorials I expected that clicking on the tutorials link in the origami folder on the linked tags menu would only show me origami tutorials. But instead it's no different than clicking on the "free" tag tutorials.
If I have to use unique tags in such a "tree" to delineate one "branch" from another, then what's the utility or use case of linked tags?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Linked tags create links between tags, but do not change tag behaviour itself: You still can have only one tag named "tutorials".
The one thing it currently does it that, if you linked "vim>tutorials", you can search for "vim" and automatically find bookmarks tagged with "tutorials". So the link from "vim>tutorials" is not really a good one.
Linked tags make sense if you have tags that generalize some other tags, e.g. "solar system" and "earth" and "mars":
solar system > earth
solar system > mars
When searching for "solar system", you will find bookmarks that are tagged with "earth" and "mars" - without explicitly tagging them with "solar system".
