I would like to have an option to automatically tag clipped notes with either a tag I choose or the date when the note was clipped. Other potential options for tags might be site clipped from, site+date, or a user defined pattern, somehting like:

%s:%d-clipped

where %s gets changed to site name ([foo.com](http://foo.com)), %d is the date and clipped is just a fixed text string I specified.

Thanks for posting this. This seems like it’d be super useful, and I love how you specified how it would be implemented. \<3

I would simply like an option to specify one or more tags such as "Clipped".

You can choose any tag using the web clipper.

Which I don't want to do for what I'd thought was obvious reasons. Firstly I'm likely to forget the tag I always want to add, and why should I need to?
