Another possibility is to use your assoc tags and fix it on the search
side.  If you always have a custom search, you can use `( ... ,( ...
)) when you define it.

Then you only need one tag on each task.  The advantage of this is
that if the associations change, you will not need to change the tags.

Currently this requires concatenating strings, but in the future,
according to Carsten, there will be optional Lisp syntax for searches,
which will make it easier.  It might also allow stuff not currently
possible.
