[FEATURE] Allow created notes to inherit parent tags

[redsigma]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When i create a note that belongs to a tag, This note doesnt inherit the parent tags

- tag1
  - tag2
     - new note  --> only has tag2, but not tag1 

If a note has all the nested parent tags, it makes it easier for me to search through all the notes when i have selected only the parent tag.

How to replicate the issue

1. Create a tag called tag1
2. Under tag1 create a new tag, called tag2
3. In tag2 create a note
4. The note will have only tag2 on it

Expected behavior

The created note should have all the tags that belong to the nested hierarchy. If we go with the above example, the created note should have both tag1 and tag2

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatives involve to make a custom plugin New Note button , but I am not sure how complicated that is, and if the application supports that

Can you please describe what you expected, what the actual behavior was, and step by step what you did?

Why should it contain the parent tags directly? That doesn't make sense to me.
The tags themselves "know" which parents they have.

If you need a very specific tagging system, then better use the tagging scripting hook to implement your own.

I understand that. I am asking if it's possible to have an option to allow notes have tags from all of its the nested tags. The tag themselves are still gonna be the same, have just the parent tag.

You are requesting a feature, that presumably will only be used by one person and confuse all other users. Do you think that's a good idea?

Rather use https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/methods-and-objects.html#tag-the-current-note to tag the current note yourself with whatever you like when a note is opened (hook https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/hooks.html#noteopenedhook).

I was asking if that could be an toggle option in the settings, which wont be enabled by default. But thanks for the links, I'll look into creating a new note button that adds all the tag to the created notes.
