Maybe you could do something with tags.
Wouldn't tags for for this? It's similar to how I use them.
There should be a tagging system
Any plans for adding tags/categorization?
Doesn't simple tagging solve all the same problems?
no, because you can't copy paste the tags. they're just visual sugar that isn't actionable.
Feature request: Ability to browse list of existing tags would be great apart from the auto-complete feature.
Something like Stack Exchange's tag system would be enough.
I thought that’s what tags were for.
Feature Request: Tags/Categories please...
