I also use #tags there and everywhere in other chats, because telegram can quickly search and go to these locations. E.g. after discussing some site, address or credentials in some chat, I reply to the specific message with like "#password router office" right in the chat. And then in the chat list there is a magnifying glass button, where you just type # and then can choose out of any #tag you ever used (#password), and then it shows all locations where it was used, with a context (#password router office, #password wifi home, etc). That doesn't work for secret chats though, afaik, but maybe it is a feature.

Tagging is different from forwarding in obvious ways (one can delete chats, modify messages, etc), but sometimes it is even more convenient than clumping up your Saved Messages. Tags may be used there as well, obviously.

There is another method, somewhat abusive to telegram, but it doesn't seem to care. For a specific topic, you can easily create a bot with a unique name and just chat with them. It is okay if bot doesn't actually have a backend and doesn't read your messages. Also bot API is so easy to use, so that if you're a developer and have a personal vps or "underbed server", you can connect yourself to a database of any flavor you could imagine. Telegram really shines here, and an entire $subj functionality may be implemented as such bot (which maybe is a great opportunity to promote and integrate your app further, $author).

Rather than creating bots, you can also create private channels (of which you are the only member) for each topic and send/fwd stuff there. Essentially having multiple "Saved messages" with different names. If you don't want to see them on your chatlist you can drop them all in a folder too.

Ah, nice. I didn't try to create a channel before and didn't know that I can be the sole subscriber. Thanks for the cue!
