BTW anyone that read this interested in the solution. Probably not most efficient way but it works. Not sure if this is even a super useful functionality, but I was unsure how to filter well within the section of document editor so this makes it easy to filter by tagged values. (EDIT: just realized it'll tell you that the tags are reset even if you cancel, but it won't do anything if you do cancel)
