I have a project named "clocks", and thus everything related to it =
across multiple files is tagged that.=20

I have a custom agenda search that looks like

 ("C" "Clocks"
               ((agenda "" nil)
                (tags-todo "clocks/NEXT|DRAFT"
                           ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next")))
                (tags-todo "clocks/TODO"
                           ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Todo")))
                (tags-todo "clocks/WAITING"
                           ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Waiting")))
                (tags-todo "clocks/RESEARCH"
                           ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Research")))
              ))

This same basic setup is something I want to be able to see for several =
projects. What I would like to do is have essentially this search, but =
in a form wherein I am queried for the project name (in reality, just a =
tag), and it gives me this search for that tag. Is there any reasonable =
way to do that? I've looked through the custom agenda views section on =
worg and didn't find anything that looked related.

(For anyone curious, I'm a writer, and "Clocks" is a novel. I'd like to =
be able to see a focused and sorted view like this for every piece I'm =
working on at any given moment.)=20

Thanks,
