What Happened?

It seems that there is some inconsistency in the behaviour of text properties and node properties. This causes user confusion when trying to understand how links are created in the graph view.

Reproduce the Bug

1. Create a new database graph
2. Create a tag
3. Give that tag both a node type property and a text type property
4. Create a page to act as the link target
5. Create a page to act as the link source and tag it with your tag so it gains the properties associated with the tag
6. Use the node type property to link to your link target page
7. Observe that a link between the two pages is not created in the graph view
8. Use the text type property to link to your link target page using [[page name]]
9. Observe that a link between the two pages is created in the graph view

Expected Behavior

I would expect the behaviour between these two approaches to be consistent and that both approaches would create a link in the graph view.
