I consider this as unsupported in wmii-3.1, even if there might
be some hackish way to achieve this (e.g. fetching the client
names from /client namespace, remembering the client id and the
tag of each client, selecting the specific tag and client after
selection).

See above. It might be possible, but I won't bother to think too
much about it. Wait for wmii-4, which might provide a more elegant
way doing so.

I think that is no good idea.
