Couple of footnotes. 1 - It is true, especially for his second, vast, Zettelkasten, Luhmann had a substantial cross-cutting "key index" he added to on slip creation, and sometimes later added to. In many ways similar to modern "tags" (non-hierarchical indices) before they existed. But they were simply access indexes rather than "labels" (I.e. they existed in the hand written "index" but were not written on the actual record slips). Its sort of tagging, but "looking" only from outside the actual records. 2 - It is worth noting that some *software implementations* of Zettlekasten DO add and use tags for exactly the reasons you, bimlas, advance.
