Looking at the Dolphin "tags" functionality with a naive view, it's possible to
create an empty filesystem folder (and put stuff in it later), it would be
intuitive to do the same for a "tags" folder.

The workflow is then create the tag folder you want, then drag-and-copy the
items into it. Otherwise the workflow is create the tag you want on one of your
items, refresh Dolphin, then drag-and-copy the rest.

It's clear that a newly created tag folder is transient; if it's not used, it
will disappear. Maybe it should have a different icon in the folder view
(greyed? or outline form?) it signal it's transience. I would not be surprised
to see such a folder disappear if I closed Dolphin and reopened it.

Harking back to the "Desired State"; tags are very useful to get out of the "a
file can only live in one place" straightjacket, each step to making them
predictable and frictionless helps...
