Can still be done. A bit complicated to build that kind of filtering smarts, but I think that would be a really fun project to work on for somebody who has the time.
If the result is a simple count of tiddlers for each individual tag, and a simple count of tiddlers for each possible value in a field (that done for each field), that would be easier than getting counts for each possible combination of tags + each possible combination of field values. And the process does not need to be told what tags exist, what fields exist, nor what field values exist. The process can figure each of those out automagically, with maybe just a hard-coded "exclude" list if there are certain kinds of tags, and/or fields, and/or field values that should be excluded from the process.
