This is interesting. People use Discourse in so many different ways!

@alltiagocom can you explain your use case in some more detail? Why do you want to create a topic that contains an automatically generated list of topics with a certain tag? Can you share an example of what you’d like this to look like?

I think I understand @sbrawley case, for organically creating a FAQ. But unless you’re talking about a huge list, why not just maintain a topic with a list of links in it manually? That way you can also control the appearance of it and specify the ordering. Your members seem to be on the right track, though a topic (which you can make a wiki and maintai n collaboratively) is of course more suitable than a word doc.

There is [Discourse Doc Categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-doc-categories/322376) which lets you specify a topic as index for documentation, where you can insert links that are then used in the sidebar navigation.

You can see an example of this in action in #Documentation. Example index: [Using Discourse Index](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-index/308031)
