That should be the “Categories” – even on the page you’ve linked the URIs have the “cat” part 🙂

WordPress categories must be explicitely chosen by the author.
I would like posts to be implicitely organized by predefined topics
so that if a post contains a topic it is archived under that topic.
Are you sure on the page you’ve linked it is done without the author chosing the category?

The linked page was used as an example of how this feature might look (ie. a list of topics)
I don’t know how it is implemented
My guess is: they just called the categories “topics”. It’s a MT blog and I don’t see anything in MT that would do what you think it was done 🙂

A suggestion for a new feature/plugin
1. Admin defines a list of topics
2. WordPress maintains a concordance of the defined topics found in each post
3. Defined topics listed on blog (like category list)
4. Selecting a topic displays all the posts containing the topic (like selecting a category)
