Sentence Tagging

I want to tag certain sentences within a book for quick retrieval at a later time, is it possible to do this in Calibre? (Thus ending up with a list of tags)

Thanks! The "Help" file is good, however, it tends to be a bit wordy and therefore difficult to understand. It's a lot like asking someone the time of day and they feel that they have to explain how a watch works.

What the "Help" file might have simply said (our used as a header to their paragraph):
1. When you select text in the viewer, a little popup bar appears next to the selection.
2. Click on the "pen" in the popup to add the highlight to the list.

And then go into all the geegaws and options dealing with highlighting. Sometimes I think writers purposefully try to make reading as difficult as writing.
