I think I get what you are saying.   I don't think there is an easy way to do
that in displayTag, but you could do the following instead:

* Remove DisplayTags paging links and replace with your own.  
* Determine what years you want to display and then create a link for each
year that will filter your list by year.  /things/index.html?year=2000.  
* Then you can just use displayTag to display a single page (only the 2000
results), but the to the user it will look like its paged.


The upside is that you will have complete control of the ByYear navigation
and can present it however you want, drop-down, etc....
