And there's some support for those, you can see them in the file notes  
window. They're also accessible from AppleScript.

I'm still not sure how these tags should be handled, given the various  
contradicting remarks about them and the fact that they're basically a  
hack. So currently they're only read-only.

Just use AppleScript. Make sure you don't evaluate the linked file  
object when you get the tags.
