For usb I agree, tere should be a way to tag those two (don't know if this
is already possible). I currently see no use case for tagging files on
other remote locations like ftp, but wouild be possible.

Maybe you can use the url or uuid (in case of a remote location like ftp)
and store this locally on yohr tablet. Since these locations won't change
nepomuk would find them later.
