Installation
Option 1: install from release package (.ankiaddon)

Tools -> Add-ons -> Install from file....
- Select the
.ankiaddon file and restart Anki.
Option 2: development install (link a local checkout)
- Clone this repo to any local path.

- Linux:
~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/
- Windows:

/path/to/Anki2/addons21/review_clickable_tags

Manual package install (.ankiaddon)
- Build package:
./scripts/package.sh
- Double-click the generated file in
dist/ to install.
Template usage
Add this to the card template where tags should appear:
{{clickable:Tags}}
Behavior defaults:
- Single-click tag: search all decks by tag
- Double-click tag: search tag inside current deck
Data-safety model
- This add-on does not auto-edit note types, notes, or collection data.
- It only renders/intercepts
{{clickable:Tags}} at runtime in reviewer/previewer.
Optional bulk setup (outside this add-on)
If you want to roll this out across all note types:
- Back up note type templates first.
- Use AnkiConnect to update templates to include
{{clickable:Tags}} on front/back.
- Sync AnkiWeb.
- Repeat sync on other devices.
Keep this as a one-time external migration step, not add-on startup logic.
Configuration
This add-on ships:
config.json defaults
config.md docs for Anki's config editor
