If you use Android then Calibre Companion is fully capable of searching and sorting on custom fields.

It also doesn't import elsewhere because it's custom data. I think I would like these tags to "go with the book" in a metadata embed so the info isn't lost if open elsewhere. "I think" means I'm a wishy washy on this decision, but having the ability to quickly combine these back into the original Tags column would give a lot of freedon.
All custom metadata is embedded into the book (if the format can take it) when exported from calibre. It can also be embedded other ways, such as modify epub, conversions, and polish.

This is NOT about building a column from other columns as I can't modify the default tags to operate that way. Default Tags would be the final location goal.
Bulk metadata edit search and replace can combine fields together.
