custom agenda view w/ tag filtering?

custom agenda view w/ tag filtering?

[Matt Price]

Is it possible to define a custom agenda view with tag filtering, but
in a date tree as in the weekly agenda?  I know I can just filter by
tag with "/" in the agenda mode, but I'd rather define a filtered view
for a couple of tags.  is this possible? I realaly like seeing my
action items arranged by date, now that I've gotten used to doing
that!  Thanks,
Matt

AFAIU yes: C-h v org-agenda-tag-filter-preset RET

thanks Bastien.  this is nonetheless almost exactly what I wanted, so
thank you so much for the help.  the code I used was in the end calls
org-agenda-filter-preset instead of binding
org-agenda-tag-filter-preset, because I don't know the right syntax
for the latter:

        ("t" agenda "Teaching Agenda"
         (( org-agenda-filter-preset '("+teaching") )  ) )
