Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

The key to tags in frontmatter is consistancy, and sometimes i dont remember my own tags. I use INPUTs to restrict my selection criteria to a specific context for specific notes. Ths problem is, i cant assign the bind_target to the tags: fronmatter.

Describe the Feature you'd like

Id like when bind_target is called, it checks if there is a # prepending the text.
Normally:
INPUT[suggester(option(Open), option(Resolved), defaultValue(Open)):Outcome]
Can be:
INPUT[suggester(option(Open), option(Resolved), defaultValue(Open)):#Outcome]

If True:
the bind target should assume to be tags frontmatter and the string following it should be the tag path.
INPUT[suggester(option(Open), option(Resolved), option(Escalated)):#Outcome]
creates
tags: - Outcome/Open

OR

INPUT[suggester(option(Open), option(Resolved), defaultValue(Open)):#Issue/Outcome]
tags: - Issue/Outcome/Resolved

Research direction

Start by locating the bind_target implementation and the code that updates frontmatter tags. Review how tag paths and existing frontmatter values are handled, then compare the requested examples for #Outcome and #Issue/Outcome. Done means hash-prefixed targets update the tags frontmatter as described, while existing targets continue to work.
