How could I change the code to store my Tags using @AppStorage for example... ?
Or could UserDefaults be used? Does anyone have a solution to get my embedded Tags loaded when my app starts?

@ericagredo apologies, the code never shipped, so I don't have a copy of my solution. SwiftUI's internals may also have changed since 2020, so what worked then may no longer apply :/
