Support for nested tags. #1148

Open v-shenoy opened 1 week ago

It would be great if tags could be organized hierarchically by nesting them such as

With this if you wanted to prepare for an upcoming algebra test you could query your notes using

```query
maths/algebra
```

while if you wanted to query all your math notes you could use

```query
maths
```

I understand that you it is possible to tag your notes individually with #maths and #algebra. But it means that you have to remember to tag all your #algebra notes with #maths as well.

To elaborate bit more on my workflow, I have some top-level folders for certain categories but beyond that I use tags for organization. This is beneficial since notes can be tagged multiples times without worrying what subfolder they are under in a completely folder based workflow.

This might be a consequence of trying to use an Obsidian-esque workflow in SilverBullet, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Obsidian tags ref.
