Default/Index Note per Tag to enhance usability of PKM systems

In the realm of productivity systems, dashboards, index notes, and maps of content are essential tools for navigating and managing knowledge and projects efficiently. Systems like Linking your Thinking, PPV(pillars, pipelines, vaults), and others. Amplenote could greatly enhance the usability and accessibility of these systems by introducing the feature to set a default or index note for each tag.

Use Case:
Imagine clicking on a tag like #project in the notes tag menu and being immediately directed to a "Project Dashboard" note. This dashboard could summarize all active and inactive projects, with links to their respective notes. Similarly, in a knowledge-related tag, you could default to a "Map of Content" note, following an approach inspired by Nick Milo’s work in Obsidian—offering an organic yet structured overview of related notes.

Current Workaround:
While you can favorite key dashboards and maps of content, this method quickly becomes unmanageable. Favorites are displayed as a flat list, lacking the user-defined structure that the tag list naturally supports. Moreover, the favorites section consumes valuable screen real estate, which could be better utilized by integrating this functionality into the existing tag list.

Benefits:

* Streamlined navigation within Amplenote, making it faster to access essential notes.
* Reduced clutter in the favorites section, allowing users to reserve it for truly frequent items.
* Better alignment with popular productivity methodologies that rely on user-set structures, providing an organic yet organized approach to content and project management.

This simple feature would not only enhance the flexibility of Amplenote but also make it a more powerful tool for users who rely on sophisticated knowledge management and project tracking systems.
