no, as far as it goes with taproot, all they have is some vague specification of "tweaks" that let you associate, from the server (smart contract) side that various addresses are connected to the same "contract address" while hiding that fact from the network
from a cryptographic perspective, they are literally just an on-chain HD wallet scheme, there's nothing more to it, it's precisely the same, address + arbitrary string, hash, and voila, new public key that can't be seen as linked to the old one... so it gives you many "slots" to accept payments from the same base and your server can scan the mempool by iterating the allowed "tweak values"
literally just the same shit as HD keychains, which is like 201 5 technology, and actually the theoretical principle dates back way further than that, and yeah while i'm talking about AI, the principle behind AI symbol graphs is literally exactly a form of hash tweak shit like taproot addresses, that they call "proximity hash" and they use different bit scrambling algorithms to achieve the actual "proximity" between two similar inputs
