Can the tag report tool be queried and used in a perspective project and displayed on a report?  
Results like this in a project:

The tool will generate a jython script for you for a given set of criteria. You can put that into a report as a scripted data source. (Not exactly simple--the scripted query doesn't yield a dataset, so you'd have to convert.)

That really is a _ **great idea!** _. Such a great idea that it is _ **done** _. Just needs some polishing and auditing before it can go to the Exchange. 😁

(With @msteele's gracious cooperation.)
