When all files are located in org-roam-directory and I want to use a tag extraction method other than prop (as documented in Tags) that means I need to relocate the respective org files. Is there a mechanism to do so while preserving all file links to that file?

If you rename the file in Emacs (I use dired for this) the links will be updated.

Note that ‘renaming’ also includes moving the files to a sub-directory. As long as you do the moving from within Emacs, e.g., with dired, Org-roam will work in the background to update all the links in your org-roam-directory pointing to the old files.
Thank you both for the quick replies. Renaming with dired is convenient and org-roam picking that up itself is neat!
should this work properly also in org-roam v2? I want to move notes into a sub-directory.
Try moving one file and see what happens yourself. If I remember correctly, the ID links should just work as they did before the move.

Just wanted to update that I checked this, and this indeed works: moving the file to a sub-folder does not break anything.
