It might be useful to use tagging to automatically assemble books, shelves or pages. For example, we have two shelves, "Stuff" and "Things". Create a new book, tag it with "Stuff", "Things" and "Flotsam". On save, the new book is automatically added to the both "Stuff" and "Things" shelves, and if a new shelf named "Flotsam" is created, then it would be automatically added to that as well.

This would allow for some interesting automatic organization to occur.

Thanks for the request @mainmachine but I'm going to close this off since there's been little demand for such a feature since this original request.

If happy to hack, it technically would be possible to listen to update events via the logical theme system then apply custom logical to apply your organization desires.
