Tag text for specific Factbook or Bible Word Study entry

So, I'm sure we've all experienced a time when we came across a classic, helpful definition or explanation of a particular lemma or concept and wished we could easily tag it so it would surface if we were to come back and look up the word or concept later. 

For instance, I ran across a great definition of πτοχος this morning in Moo's Pillar commentary on James 2:5. It's a great definition, and I wish to see it if I ever look up the lemma in Bible Word Study or the lemma entry in the Factbook later. Is there a way to do that? That is, is there is a way that I could highlight a text selection and tag it so that it would appear in a particular guide or a particular factbook entry of some sort?

    You can take a Note on a Lemma

    If you click the Anchor it will open a Word Study. Else right-click the Anchor for Factbook, BWS and other actions.

    You could make a Note on the Selection of the word and the note entry would take you back to the source from where you right-click the lemma:

    I tagged the Note entry and you could add the lemma as an Anchor if needed.

    I mean, that sort of works, but it gives me no ability to discover my definition from the Factbook or Bible Word Study screen. What I was kind of hoping forwas maybe a "Notes" section that pulls in all notes anchored to that lemma from across the system. That way, if I was every looking up that lemma, I could see that I had personally tagged some definitions that were helpful to me. Otherwise, I just need to "remember" that I had made a note on that lemma at some point in the past.

    Factbook should be able to do that if you attach a Factbook tag to the lemma in the resource (from the right-click menu). It has a section for these tags. I haven't looked at BWS.
