By "feature", you mean copying all the inherited tags to the heading at
point?

My suggestion implied that you can skip that copying step altogether and
directly use org-get-tags-at to gets all the inherited tags for the current
heading. That way, you wouldn't need to add redundant information to your
Org file.

It's not clear what you mean by "feature is not already part of Org-mode".
Org mode provides `org-get-tags-at', which any Org exporter can use. How
that function is used is, I think, very subjective. The way I use it in
ox-hugo is probably not used in other exporters.
