Can #tags replace internal links at all?

For being future proof/compatibility, I am exploring ways to use #tags in place of internal links created by using [[.

Although a #tag purposed for this could be repeatedly used, it identifies a very specific location (ie a specific bullet) within dynalist for allowing one to filter (via clicking on #tag) and navigate to that location at a later time. Being tightly locked to a bullet, it can be viewed not more than a location bookmark, with much lesser “functionality” than a usual tag.

If you practise such approach, do share. Looking to gather best practices in dealing with these “bookmark” tags, such as naming/organizing/maintaining them relative to its associated bullet and hosting document etc.

I think these techniques will be useful to anyone who don’t want their tags to devolve into a mess. For GTD I like to make clearly defined edges and I want my tasks not to get lost among my other tags. I also find that using the tags inline as verbs works better for my brain as it forces me to …
