Well, I know what you mean, however because I use unique emojis to indicate contexts I can just do a search for the emoji like with tags (before I started playing with pages I was just using emojis, not tags, and used searches regularly). At the moment that would be a bit annoying because of the length of the links - the long links is the biggest limitation for me, I think roam doesnāt have this problem.
Aside from this, the page is just a bonus. For example you could have the pageās title be a tag (e.g. have a #athome page), then every linked item would automatically have both that tag and a link to the page ā¦ Again just the link lengths in searches would be the annoyance.
Of course roam automatically makes tags into pages, I suppose what Iām suggesting here is that you could manually make all your tags a page (or the ones where itās useful to have that additional feature that pages bring bolted on).
Edit the next day: Actually I just noticed than when you run a search e.g. for āøš» in my example, the search shows the unexpanded link e.g.
So that works just as well as tags and you could do intersectional searches no problem e.g.
