Alternative nested tags with dot instead of slash #92

Open aisbergde opened 2 years ago

It would be good if you could also use points to separate the hierarchies. Maybe via further settings.

tags: [here/is/a/nested/example, project.task.nested]

My goal is a virtual file system that follows this idea of hierarchical notes:

https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f3a41725-c5e5-4851-a6ed-5f541054d409/#whats-with-the-s

Thereby a file has only one (1) filename like

project1.area1.item1.adoc

But the file can optionally get additional virtual filenames via tags. The result would be something similar to symbolic links.

project2.area3.item1

definition.item1

etc

The use of dot instead of slash would be important because there cannot be slash or backslash in filenames. These mark real folders.
