Hmmm that’s an interesting thought… I think as purely a front end to my file system that would work great. However as you suggest this, it makes me realize that I’d like to be able to create links *between* files as well. This is something that tiddlywiki, org-mode, or dokuwiki do quite well. However, perhaps a sophisticated enough tagging system would accomplish similar results…
