Item Tagging

Would it make sense to also allow items to be tagged by dragging a tag onto one or more items? I'm rather used to the Gmail label model, and find myself trying to do this quite often (to no avail).

    In addition to dragging multiple items to a tag, which is already possible?

    I think dragging multiple objects onto something is much more of a standard convention than dragging something onto a multi-selection.

    Well, I'd already be very happy if I could drag a tag to a single item.

    Dragging onto a multi-selection is hard for me to imagine, but dragging onto a single item does sound like a nice completion of the paradigm.

    Well, dragging a label to a selection of emails works in Gmail, but there label-to-email is the only way to go, and the concept of (email) selections is somewhat stronger because of the use of checkboxes to mark selected emails.

    Dragging a tag onto a single item would be fine.
