Tags from tables not indexed in tag object

Have a table like the following…

foo bar
oof qwe #QWE
foo ewq [qwe: foo]
table where tags = 'QWE'

This works and yields

tableref ref tag tags page pos foo bar
Sandbox/Test@36 Sandbox/Test@56 table QWE Sanbox/Test 56 oof qwe

But the next one does not!

tag where name = 'QWE'

This is a great, really, limitation. I would expect literaly every tag be present in the tag object. It’s tag and it should be accessible as such. Something like the following…

ref tag name page parent
Sandbox/Test@56:table tag QWE Sandbox/Test table

Perhaps… Or something like that that does make more sense… @zef ?? Could this great limitation be somehow resolved?

Use case: I have many things in tables tagged and these tags are missing from all my tag listings… :frowning:


Side note: whereever tag are indexes, the same should be true for [attr: ibutes], I think. Both should be indexed the same way, consistently.

Idea: Add more object types for table: row and column and cell, so there will be 4 indices for the tables. Then methods to access any of the 4 table objects can be elaborated on in the future. That could allow for powerful “poor-man’s” spreadsheets built with these new 4 indices.

Related and perhaps more confused ideas by me a time ago…
