Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

I have a set up that uses templates with tags pre-loaded in their frontmatter so I don't have to manually assign these.

E.g. "New book" with the '#book' tag

I have added the templates folder to the Excluded folders in meta-bind, as well as in Obsidian Core's excluded folders. However, meta bind suggester does not exclude choosing the files with these tags, when using optionQuery(#tag). So the suggester shows "New book" as a suggestion, alongside all the books I have added using this template.

Describe the Feature you'd like

Use the 'Excluded Folders' setting in Obsidian Core 'Files and Links' area. Files sitting this folder and subfolders should be ignored from the inline suggester.

Alternatives

Use the 'Excluded Folders' setting in Meta Bind plugin settings to add folders to exclude from suggestions.

Research direction

Start by locating the inline suggester entry point and the handling for optionQuery(#tag), then inspect how Meta Bind and Obsidian Core excluded-folder settings are represented. The change is complete when files in excluded folders and their subfolders no longer appear as suggestions, while other tagged files still do.
