Assuming we're talking about TiddlyWiki5, I think it's a reasonable goal to
be able to treat any other field like the tags field.

There's actually very few components of TW5 that specifically "know" about
the tags field:

* tag filter: could be extended to identify the tag field to be used eg
[tag:mytagsfield[exampletag]]
* tags filter: similarly [tags:mytagsfield[]]
* tagging filter: similarly [tagging:mytagsfield[]]
* untagged filter: similarly [untagged:mytagsfield[]]
* checkbox widget: could be extended with an additional attribute to
identify the tag field to be used
* fieldmangler widget: similarly

The infrastructure in wiki.js concerned with caching the tag map would also
need to be tweaked.

Best wishes

Jeremy
