Description

### Expected Behavior

I expect, after importing my collection (Exported in Insomnia V4 format), to correctly retrieve all my tags (link to another request payload).

### Actual Behavior

I have exported a request collection (Insomnia V4 format) few weeks ago. Import worked well so far (Requests, Env, Tags, ...).

After the update this week (I have the last release). When I import my collection, all my tag (link to another request payload) are broken

You can see on screenshot below that Request dropdownlist is no more selected.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Insomnia V4 import flow using Create, Import, From URL, and Scan, then inspect how request links in imported tags are resolved. Done means imported tags retain the correct request selection instead of appearing broken; no source file or test is identified in the issue.
