Delicious offered something a lot like this. Obviously they only had actual bookmarks and tags were manually chosen by people (there wasn’t really machine learning) but on average tags made sense and by looking at the tags that people commonly applied to links, one could find similar links by searching for those tags. Some problems would be spam and the fact that modern urls are more likely to try to be unique—you’d need to figure out how to strip the tracking part from each url.
