Yes, this feature exists. Look Tags keyboard shortcuts...

Typically, the idea is to assign a keyboard shortcut to a tag (a virtual
album). for exemple, in your case, something like "TOBATCH".
You assign a shortcut using tag properties dialog: CTRL+ALT+A for example.

Go to slideshow, tag keyboard shortcut are supported. Pressing CTRL+ALT+A
will assign "TOBATCH" to current image.

Later, go to TOBATCH virtual album, select all items with CTRL+A, and press
CTRL+B. This will create a new queue in BQM with current selected image.

Another way is to use Pick or Color labels which are predefined tags to use
in workflow (as with Adobe stuff). They use pre-defined keyboard shortcuts
: look in icon-view, context menu, on the bottom, you have Assign Labels
entry. keyboard shortcuts are show below the label button from sub menus...

Not this one...
