I’m using the [jekyll-hashtags](https://github.com/mynux/jekyll-hashtags) plugin to automatically make links when I use a #hashtag. This works really well.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to also add the tag to the page metadata when I use the #hashtag. Currently I have to manually add the #hashtag to the list of tags in the header of the page/post.

Is this even possible?
