A few inputs; In my head, things became a bit easier with the keyword field in drift; https://akhater.github.io/drift/#Example%20Keywords%20Source Then tags can be reserved for broader topics and I add specifics to the keyword field.
A generalization of that approach, I guess, is that every field is a tag field, and that fields are in a sense tags themselves. In your case; would it make sense to have a URL field in the tiddlers you use in the example? Then you know that the tiddlers with a URL field have stuff from the internet and can use that for filtering. This approach is also establishing relationships between tiddlers, e.g. the tag "Sigmund Freud" is very broad, but you can add a field "author" with value "Sigmund Freud" to tiddlers on his books, link to [[Sigmund Freud]] in tiddlers where you critique him, have a field "relatives" in the tiddler on Anna Freud where [[Sigmund Freud]] is listed or a field "inspired.by" where he is listed in a tiddler on Carl Jung and so on Another take on tabs is thinking more along the lines of "board", e.g. https://andjar.github.io/TiddlyMenu/board.html Best, Anders søndag 30. mai 2021 kl. 14:13:41 UTC+2 skrev Mat: > While I didn't use TW as a "Personal Knowledge Management" system, at > least not specifically, I'd say the general answer to your question is how > direct your access to the data needs to be, and put this in relation to how > cluttered you want your UI to be. > > For example, I would personally not want a lot of sidebar tabs.
