An easy alternative if the list of tags is small and relatively stable would
be to create a custom block agenda view (or maybe several different block
agendas).  Below is example code from the Org
documentation:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
           '(("h" "Agenda and Home-related tasks"
              ((agenda "")
               (tags-todo "home")
               (tags "garden")))
             ("o" "Agenda and Office-related tasks"
              ((agenda "")
               (tags-todo "work")
               (tags "office")))))

"This will define C-c a h to create a multi-block view for stuff you need to
attend to at home. The resulting agenda buffer will contain your agenda for the
current week, all TODO items that carry the tag ‘home’, and also all lines 
tagged with ‘garden’. Finally the command C-c a o provides a similar view for 
office tasks."
