This is what I am looking for. More and more I think that filetags is
not the right thing, because most of my important files are under (HG)
version control, change the file name frequently is not a very smart
thing then.

I found https://github.com/gunther-bachmann/emacs-dired-annotator

Which looks very promising, although right now I have difficulties make
it to work (in git master 7bf17ceee8c, may 2022) and opened already some
issues on this github page
If someone is also interested in that package and want to join...
