Tags go with headlines.  The only way to do what you want is with inline
tasks like this:

,----[ .emacs ]
| (require 'org-inlinetask)
`----

,----[ test.org ]
| 
| * item1
| this is about item 1
| *************** subitem1					     :urgent:
| bla bla
| *************** not urgent
| more about item1
`----
