Add tag on annotation

Just as this add-on can add an "unread" tag to newly added items, it would be great if it could add a "has annotations" tag the first time you add an annotation to an item. Is that possible?

The 'unread' is added for users to remove it later after they finished reading. However, unlike the item/files, the annotations do not have a 'close' event, which means users have to remove these tags by themselves. I wonder in what condition do you need this feature?

Currently, you could use the alt+number shortcuts to add/remove tags to selected annotations.

Perhaps I didn't explain this clearly. I read many documents but I only annotate some of them. I would like to be able to filter my library to see which items in my database have annotations. Currently I don't see any way to do this? I thought that maybe having an automatic tag for annotated documents going forward would at least partially help - even if it can't identify those that already have annotations from before.

Maybe a new event 'add the tag on annotation create'? Work the same way as the unread tags.

That is what I was thinking - assuming it is possible.
