I think it depends on the usage is tags, and how important the tagging system actually is, because there's a tagging system in wide use that allows for aliases. That system is reactj on Slack messages. For those outside the slack ecosystem, that feature allows you to an emoji to a message, even or especially if you're not the author. Thing is, as tiny pictures, people remember what they remember about the emoji, and people often remember an alias and may not even know the offical name. Slack further allows customization by letting users add their own reactj imbuing each slack workspace with its own personality. If someone wants to type in dumbbell and someone wants to type in weight, and it goes to the same tiny picture, is that really so broken?
