For example, I have a custom column Status (lookup name: "status" type: "Text, with fixed set of permitted values") that I use to mark books that I have already finished, that are in my to-be-read queue, or that need to be fixed to my liking. Then I have a virtual library called READ with a search expression "#status:"=Finished" to filter any books I have already finished.

Following your example, the best I seem to be able to do, is to get a custom column in the Tag browser with a child item which is its value and a number of titles that have this value. To get the book there, I need to select the book then start editing metadata, go to user metadata tab and set the user column value there.
Well, didn't expect to be able to drag&drop books, but it would be nice.
So this is the best we can get?
