Tags can be used in combination with autoconfig configuration. If you deploy an XML / MetaType artifact to a target and it contains placeholders, those will be resolved using tags that are attached to targets, distributions or features. The actual template engine that is being used for that is Velocity. That being said, the NodeLauncher itself is not something you can currently target with a configuration, you have to target a bundle (or rather ManagedService(Factory)) in the container.
