[Feature request] Support showing Influx on Tag Wrangler's tag pages #39

Hi,

I have an idea which might come handy for quite a few people. Let me start with explaining a use case:

Use case: achievement log

I have daily notes, where I try to take note of anything interesting. There's a great personal practice that I would like to follow called "achievement logging" (see this article about it for example). It's essentially about taking a note every time when you nail something. Having a log about that is useful for multiple purposes, so I recommend doing this in my job quite often:

For me, the most logical way to keep such a log would be by using a tag (#win or something similar) inside a bullet point in my daily logs. The only problem is, I don't have any way for displaying all the wins: normally, this would be what Influx excels at, but it doesn't seem to handle tags yet.

What Tag Wrangler does - tag pages

People often debate the merits of using tags vs. page links to organize your notes. With tag pages, you can combine the best of both worlds: the visibility and fluid entry of tags, plus the centralized content and outbound linking of a page.

To create a tag page, just right click any tag in the tag pane, then select "Create Tag Page". A new note will be created with an alias of the selected tag. https://github.com/pjeby/tag-wrangler#tag-pages

In my example, a tag page created by Tag Wrangler is just a wins.md with the following content:

---
Aliases: [ "#win" ]
---

So the idea would be to modify Influx to ensure that it's able to detect the relation between tags and such pages.
