> Let's say I spent an evening writing some ideas down for a possible future adventure. It's a six month long travelling trip around the world. I may never get to do it but I want to keep my notes somewhere. How would I file them in this?
You have two choices, depends on how important this idea is to you:
If important, ~/1-Textmind/2-Linked/3-Persinter/Vacations/~
If you want it out of the way, ~/1-Textmind/2-Linked/5-Location/Global/Vacations~
You might have a different word for this than "Vacation", or a different way subdirectory structure under ~/Global~

In general, when starting a new project such as writing on a topic, I orient myself by walking the directory tree. Maybe there's a central keyword I'll jump to first, such as "Civil-war" which would be under ~/1-Textmind/2-Linked/5-Location/1-name/United-states-of-america/~. Otherwise I may just walk down the tree, starting with ~3-Persinter~. I drill deeper into the tree until I lose interest, then ascend and continue forwards. I take notes on what info resources I find, with links and summaries of their relevance. Those notes tell me what I need to do next, whether it's outlining a rough draft or literature review. If I'm missing something I may grep for it.
While I'm walking the tree, I'll also reorganize any relevant info to help me write about it, and move the irrelevant out of the way.
If it's sufficiently complicated, e.g. I plan to write many articles about the Civil War, I may refile relevant headings to a separate git repo, which contains both a Textmini and a Hugo documentation site like this one:
https://cyberthal-docs.nfshost.com
The Hugo Learn theme's hierarchical page layout lets me develop content by turning Textmini into Hugo pages into an evolving tree.
Once a page is sufficiently mature, I'll promote it to a wiki-like site such as
https://neuron.zettel.page, so that it can be heterarchically linked. It's safe to make lots of internal links now because the page won't change scope.

~/1-Textmind/2-Linked/4-Time/1-me/Economic/Accounts-payable~
But you also want some kind of accounting software, of course.
