Description

I wonder if the usage of tags would get more useful if it becomes easier to use them. I would imagine the convertIds function to be able to parse character inputs and match those to Ids (would need to think about wild card matching and what to do with multiple inputs). This would make it easier for functions like submitJobs to submit only certain tags.

similar I could imagine the addExperiments and submitJobs function to have a tag argument so set the tags directly instead of constructs like these

initialJobs<-submitJobs(reg = reg)
addJobTags(reg=reg, initialJobs, "initialJobs")

Research direction

Start by reading the convertIds, submitJobs, addExperiments, and addJobTags entry points mentioned in the issue. Clarify wildcard and multiple-input behavior, then define how tag arguments should work and verify that selected tags can be submitted without the separate addJobTags pattern.
