Brief Abstract

I'd like you to be able to hide entries in org-roam-node-display-template by setting their width to 0. This allows us to still search based on them but prevents them taking up screen space.

Long Description

Before org-roam-v2 used to attach the tags of a node to the formatted entry with the display none property so that even if the tags weren't in org-roam-node-display-template you could still search with them in completing-read. Recent changes seem to have invalidated this feature so I'd like org-roam to support it directly.

Here's is what my configuration for org-roam display-template currently is.

(use-package org-roam
  :custom
  (org-roam-node-display-template "${title}")
  (org-roam-node-annotation-function #'org-roam-annotate-tag+)
  :commands (org-roam-annotate-tag+)
  :config
  (defun org-roam-annotate-tag+ (node)
    (let ((tags (org-roam-node-read--tags-to-str (org-roam-node-tags node))))
      (unless (string-empty-p tags)
        (concat
          " "
          (propertize " " 'display `(space :align-to (- right ,(+ 1 (length tags)))))
          tags)))))

Because I already display tags using org-roam annotation function I don't want to have switch to using the template instead so I'd rather just attach the tags after the node title I.E. (setq org-roam-node-display-template "${title} ${tags:0}")

Proposed Implementation (if any)
