Brady, Not only do I believe you can achieve this with TiddlyWiki, you can go a lot further. The same data can be organised multiple ways. Using title, tags and content search will get you a long way but do not under estimate the use of fields as well. Once a field exists it can be searched for its existence with has:field[fieldname] even before you questions the fields content. Then fields can be used like tags with one or multiple values in a list in each field.
One of the keys is ensuring a tiddler is classified on creation or update. A number of things can be done to encourage this. Jeds GenTags plugin https://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/GenericTagFields/ permits the building of Tag equivalent sets, which I plan to use for categories and subjects and other organising keywords. Tag are great because we can apply any tag to any thing however as complexity builds they become overwhelming. To deal with this I initially used filters and lists that could list tags that are tagged by another tag, I also used versions of the TableOfContents that expose multiple hierarchies of tags starting with alternate master tags. However in my more sophisticated wikis I plan to build independent subject, category and keyword fields which have a curated set of "values" so when entering content you are prompted to nominate one of more values for each field, from a curated set of values. This will help prompt the application of appropriate organising values. For Example Tags - adhoc or parent child relationships Category - One or more categories from a category list/hierarchy Strict Category - One only categorie from a category list/hierarchy Subject - One or more subjects from a subject list/hierarchy Strict Subject - One only subject from a subject list/hierarchy Keywords - any number of words, not in the text that may provide an avenue to find the tiddler again After using the above methods you can also design searches that operate across all values.
