I proposed in the past (but I haven't had the chance to work on it yet...) to have some kind of "saved searches" that would hold tags, ratings and dates. That way, I can have a single tag "Jean's Anniversary" but I can build several "albums/catalogs" based on the search of this tag and a selection of dates/ratings. That would automatically filter out pictures I like less, for my anniversary, for a single year and make it easy to retrieve later on.
For the moment, though, I'm still learning C# basics (I'm not a programmer), so I don't know when I'll be able to implement such a feature myself.
