[Feature] Rename and Move Tags

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

It would be a great addition, if you would be able to simply rename tags and move them.
This would enable us to bulkmove photos/videos to a "new tag" without the need of deleting those tags on the pictures, and adding the new one.
Example 1 (Translating tag to english): Hintergrundbild > Wallpapers
Example 2 (Nesting the tag for better filters): Wallpapers 1080p > Wallpapers/1080p

In this usecase I currently need to remove the tag "Hintergrundbild" from every photo and need to add the tag "Wallpapers" or "Wallpapers/1080p" on 120 photos i took

I can take this if it’s something the maintainers want to add.

Oh no.
Is there a safe way to edit xmp files of the internal lib and sync the changes? I‘ve done it for external libs, but i read it’s discouraged for the internal lib.

This would be a great addition and I would greatly appreciate it. My use case is that I have created tags for 50+ bird species as top-level tags in the hierarchy, but later realized I should've created a parent "birds" tag. There is currently no way to move all of these bird species tags to a different location in the hierarchy, and my only option right now is to create new tags and delete the old ones.

I'd really like to see this feature added soon. I'm hesitating to dive too deep into classifying my assets knowing that if I need to rename/ reorganize tags later (seems inevitable), I'll have to manually remove and reapply them.

This feature would be super helpful in conjunction with being able to bulk tag an upload at a time. Being able to edit tag parent groups after the fact would help our clean up and organization going forward a ton! Please!! Manually removing and re-adding tags after we realize it should have been a parent group is a struggle.
