There is already a (clunky) feature that enables this.
If you hyperlink text with a tag url with the url parameter ?userTagName=true, the hyperlinked text will be replaced by whatever the current name of the tag is.
E.g. If the tag is called “Global dystopia” and I put in a post or other tag with the hyperlink url /global-distoptia?useTagName=true and then it gets renamed to “Dystopia”:
The old URL will still work
The text “Global dystopia” will be replaced with the current name “Dystopia”
