Folders could potentially be created as smart folders that are based on tags. So anything under āMedicalā is tagged medical. Folder is purged, but you have a āSmart Folderā that is only a UI layer of anything that is tagged āMedicalā. It would also work for multiple tags, as well, I would think. I donāt know how it would be designed, however this has become a pretty mainstream approach recently to tagging.

As much as I look forward to this change, Iām a little worried about tags replacing folders. First, I expect tags to be many, and messy, so it wouldnāt be very practical to use them as folders. At the moment I have 4 folders and itās easy to navigate my vault this way, but I expect to have many more tags. Ideally, Iād like to keep both folders and tags and have them work together. I also wonder how the transition will be made. I hope that the existing folders wonāt just get deleted and at least get converted to tags.

Rest assured they wonāt be deleted! Folders is confusing for many users currently, and will be converted to tags that can be used to easily organize items in a similar way but with far more functionality.
