Do you mean attach as a tag?

The only reason that I don’t think tags are a good solution is that I’ve never seen any evidence that anybody pays attention to tags. They never seem to get referenced inside a thread. Last October What Exit? asked [if anyone was using them](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/update-on-tags-was-adding-tags-to-many-cafe-threads-to-organize-them-better/921842/12) and got no answers until one question four months later about their not working.
