Upgrade StorageFeature request: adding tags with hashtags in comments
I rarely use tags because I find it inconvenient to add them to items. I often felt like the following feature would be very helpful:
Write a hashtag in a comment. The string behind the hashtag automatically becomes a tag assigned to the parent item.
For instance I read a pdf in the zotero pdf reader. In a comment I write: "This paper argues that there is no #AnimalConsciousness". The tag "AnimalConsciousness" is automatically assigned to the parent item.
Why is this helpful? Only while I read the paper do I realize that some tag I use fits the paper. I am used to writing comments. Writing comments does not disrupt my flow of reading the paper. If I could add tags by writing a comment it would be similarly seamlessly integrated into my workflow. Having to switch from the "Info" tab on the right to the "Tags" tab and add a new tag there is much more inconvenient and disrupts my flow. Also, if I add the tag with a hashtag in a comment, then immediately, when going back to the paper later, I can see which passage of the paper prompted me to add the tag because that is where I added the comment.
