but your storage path is already a hierarchy of tags.* *If using a unix derived filesystem.

  I could use symlinks to refer to files, yes, but rather I'm using nonstandard #foo-bar-baz subtag syntax to refer to sections of org mode documents. I do not use real org mode tags because those are restricted to headlines. In other news, if anyone knows how to restrict a search in an org mode buffer to search only the headings, that would be very helpful! Right now I'm using an external grep wrapper, restricting to lines that begin with an asterisk.

    ehh... symlinks... perhaps, But I am talking about hardlinks. Having said that, I will be the first to admit. the reason hardlinks are not often used is that it is a real "here be dragons" part of the map. 10 years ago I spent a couple fun weeks categorizing all my music. my schema was something along the lines of every file was linked to artist/artist_name/song_name band/band_name/song_name song/song_name/band_name date/YYYY-MM-DD/song_name genre/genre_name/song_name playlist/playlist_name/index etc, etc then I had fun making up a small set of cli utilities to find tags, create and manage playlists etc. then A. it turns out I don't really listen to music. and B. the whole structure wanted to explode every time I would try and move it to a new host. so it probably still sits there on one of my file servers but now as a million duplicated files.
