Description

Currently, when tag A is a cognate for tag B, it is automatically added to any topic added with tag B. Likewise, when tag B ist removed from the topic, tag A is also removed, but there is no visual indication on the Topic that a certain tag is a cognate for another tag, so users don't really know what tags will be added or removed when they add a tag which has a cognate. This should be made clearer in the UI. Adding a tag should bring along its cognates with some sort of grouping on the UI to indicate that they are joined.

Begin by locating the Topic tag UI and the existing cognate behavior described in the issue; no file or test is named, so identify those entry points first. Done means the UI clearly groups cognate tags when a tag is added and makes their linked removal behavior understandable.
