SUMMARY
I would like to be able to assign keywords to other keywords or have two parents for a keyword.

For example, in a hierarchy of country --> department --> city (e.g., France --> 84-Vaucluse --> Vaison-la-Romaine), I would like to be able to associate the keyword “beautiful village” or “ancient city” to “Vaison-la-Romaine.” This keyword would also be associated with the keyword “castelnau de montmiral” in the hierarchy France --> 81-tarn --> “castelnau de montmiral”.

Alternatively, “vaison la romaine” could be associated with a second parent keyword, ‘beauvillage’ or “citéantique”.

This would avoid having to tag all the images of “Vaison-la-Romaine” and “Castelnau de Montmiral” individually with the keyword ‘beauvillage’ or “citéantique”.

The same principle could be used for other hierarchies concerning animals, for example.
