Why not the default tags property?
I don’t find it useful since you can’t navigate to other related entries with it.
What is Relational Tag?
A relation property:
![notion image](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Fs3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2Fbfccb158-de25-4b61-8b6d-0092b4533a5e%2FScreenshot_2022-04-03_at_12.43.42_PM.png%3FX-Amz-Algorithm%3DAWS4-HMAC-SHA256%26X-Amz-Content-Sha256%3DUNSIGNED-PAYLOAD%26X-Amz-Credential%3DAKIAT73L2G45EIPT3X45%252F20221203%252Fus-west-2%252Fs3%252Faws4_request%26X-Amz-Date%3D20221203T022340Z%26X-Amz-Expires%3D86400%26X-Amz-Signature%3D6055c216615f7c7cfcd0c83b25ad376fbbd2f0873b78e678c2bfa837ba0a525d%26X-Amz-SignedHeaders%3Dhost%26x-id%3DGetObject?table=block&id=34d5d84a-f65d-4fcb-a336-fd9c665dc095&cache=v2)
You need to link the Relation property to a database under the main public page:
![notion image](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Fs3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2Fbcc14c13-ba05-43d6-b4a7-ee88956bc2d9%2FScreenshot_2022-04-06_at_11.30.55_AM.png%3FX-Amz-Algorithm%3DAWS4-HMAC-SHA256%26X-Amz-Content-Sha256%3DUNSIGNED-PAYLOAD%26X-Amz-Credential%3DAKIAT73L2G45EIPT3X45%252F20221203%252Fus-west-2%252Fs3%252Faws4_request%26X-Amz-Date%3D20221203T022340Z%26X-Amz-Expires%3D86400%26X-Amz-Signature%3Df74897eb2a148f93c933cb0ae41347e36622f6ce8776e2f95a220e03510eedd9%26X-Amz-SignedHeaders%3Dhost%26x-id%3DGetObject?table=block&id=d5bed6d2-a69f-47b7-a4e4-800ba22b4fa1&cache=v2)
How to use it?
- Just type a string in your new page, existing “tag” or create a new page as a “tag”
- Each tag page will list all other pages tagged for that topic
Quirks with Potion
All contents on this site are written & stored in Notion (literally my 2nd brain & work OS) but some pages made pretty with custom domain name, SEO friendly & so on, with Potion. The following quirks are irrelevant for those using Notion Share-to-Web directly.
Showing first relation tag by default
Let’s say you have an article with multiple tags based on a relation property, the 2nd tag will not be shown until you add a link to the tag page somewhere in your contents:
![notion image](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Fs3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2F9348fb60-f2f9-4d6e-948f-6b686f5e4f7d%2FScreenshot_2022-04-09_at_12.32.24_PM.png%3FX-Amz-Algorithm%3DAWS4-HMAC-SHA256%26X-Amz-Content-Sha256%3DUNSIGNED-PAYLOAD%26X-Amz-Credential%3DAKIAT73L2G45EIPT3X45%252F20221203%252Fus-west-2%252Fs3%252Faws4_request%26X-Amz-Date%3D20221203T022340Z%26X-Amz-Expires%3D86400%26X-Amz-Signature%3De910b3fbccb4ffae11ff46d47ac41c368eddf10f961c9bc7fd7bbdc78a976ca7%26X-Amz-SignedHeaders%3Dhost%26x-id%3DGetObject?table=block&id=27b7984a-7d59-43b5-befe-90d6720e485b&cache=v2)
This won’t happen when you use Notion URL share directly: https://jymcheong.notion.site/Notion-Relational-Tags-bb353363b278436a8e6de8e94980dcd4
Same limitation applicable to tag pages too

Only the 1st view is shown
On the left is what appears in Notion app, the right Potion hosted page:

Tags is an embedded in-line database with a gallery view (doesn’t matter if you switch view).
