[sugar] Journal Tagging in Activities

What I'm looking for is an explicit tagging funcionality within an 
activity, for example the way it works in 'record' at the moment.

It just doesn't seem to make sense to be forced to switch to the Journal 
any time I want to tag (the result of) an activity when I really should 
be able to tag anything and everything from within the activity where I 
create the datastore object in question.

Cheers,
Christoph
