Describe the feature you'd like

It would be great to be able to have nested tags as first class citizens, like in Obsidian.

For example, I can already created tags like "Software/Android", "Software/macOS". But if I try to search for tag "Software", it would include sub-tags into search results. With a native nested tag support, tags should have a hierarchy where a bookmark that tag like "One/Two/Three/ will be searchable either with "One" or "One/Two" or "One/Two/Three".
Important Note: "One/Two/Three" and "Two" are completely different tags because the second tag is a top level tag, while "Two" in the first tag is under "One".

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

It would allow to be more flexible in organising bookmarka across different spaces and make tags less messy.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I tried to find a workaround, but tags aren't searchable by a prefix, only by their full names :(

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request
