No, in part because you cannot have subcategories. I looked into
categories. I need to be able to associate any page with any other
page--treating pages like tags. This allows me to automatically
generate "see also" sections.
Thanks though,

Aren't Categories what you need?

You can have tags or categories [[!Liver]], [[!Cancer]] in your
pages; they link to pages in the Category/ group. You can change
this group to Tags/ if you want.
You can see how the pages in the Cookbook are organized with
Categories.
Your backlinks at the bottom of every page are exactly backlinks,
and the links to the Category/ pages are categories.
But again, there is no easy way to link to a page without having a
pagelist show that page. Some people use a PageVariable like this:
[[{Group.Page$PageUrl}|text]] or [[{OtherGroup.OtherPage$PageUrl}|
text]]
This link will not appear as a backlink, but unfortunately it is
much more difficult to type.
There are also a number of implementations for links/tags in the
Cookbook, you may wish to browse it:

In short, yes, I believe that would be the sort of thing I am
interested in. However having them appear on the page is somewhat
desirable for me. The important thing is being able to specify
which links show up in a pagelist link=... and which do not. In my
system, every page is considered a category. I place a link to page
B at the top of page A and a link to page A automatically shows up
at the bottom of page B. This system works great for determining
related texts, but it is limiting in that links are now used solely
for tagging pages. I cannot add a link to another page without
tagging it as a category. It would be nice to be able to chose to
have a list of links act as categorical tags and the rest act as
normal links.

This generally works great. I am worried I may at some point want
to include links in the text without having them treated like
tags. I would also like to have these tags displayed in the edit
form in a separate block of text. All of this is not critical at
the moment, but I worry that my current system is limiting.
Furthermore, I would rather spend a day fixing a couple hundred
pages than spend a week fixing a couple thousand pages sometime
in the future.
One method I thought of was to have all the links that are to be
treated as tags in the page's header and having a separate text
block in the edit form for that.
If anyone knows how to do that or something that would work
equally well, please let me know.
