    public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
    {
        // 👋 Custom definition for Category relation!    
        $this->customMorphMap = [
            Category::class => 'post',
        ];
        
        // 👋 Default for all others! (__CLASS__ definition is default. You don't need to add this.)
        $this->defaultMorphType = Post::class;

        parent::__construct($attributes);
    }

    public function tags(): MorphToMany
