Description

I use custom tags as read out of a project file in order to do the tagging, but I would also like to be able to use pre-preleases with it. The features of this allow for pre-release bumping with v0.0.0-branch and marking the tag as a pre-release.

But when using a custom tag none of this happens. I can't even specify if I want this to be a pre-release or not regardless of any automatic features.
So, at the very least allow the marking of a pre-prelease as an input variable or something.

Research direction

Start by tracing how custom tags are read from the project file and how the existing pre-release bumping and tag-marking behavior is handled. Define the configuration input for explicitly marking a custom tag as a pre-release, while preserving the automatic behavior described in the issue; done when both choices work for custom tags.
