This isn't about tags. It's just an example. I'll be using this for a tags-like custom column called Filenames. Since I want it to behave like tags (for my specific usecase), let's just assume we are dealing with tags.
This easily could be a bad assumption.

And why tags-like column and not something else? Because I want the links-like terms that tags have. Just right-click and you can quickly copy the link text (in my case filename). For normal text, I'd have to manually select the text, make sure no line breaks/endings are selections and then copy the text.

Just trying to optimize things for my workflow here.
You leave out the most important information:
  • What exactly does clicking on one of these filenames search for? A value in a column? A book in calibre? Something else?
  • Does the calibre URL system support that search?
  • How does a template find the information to put in the URL?
  • How does it find the information to display?

Seriously, real examples are needed, not contrived ones. The solution I posted above might not work for what you are trying to do. It could be that nothing will work.
