I thought I'd have a quick crack at this since its ages I tried any
elisp

Something along the lines of


,----
|     (require 'org-clock)
| 
|     (defun rgr/check-for-clock-out-note()
|           (interactive)
|           (save-excursion
|             (set-mark (goto-char (org-entry-beginning-position)))
|             (let ((tags (org-get-tags)))
|               (message "tags: %s " tags)
|               (if (member "clockout_note" tags)
|                   (org-add-note)))))
| 
|     (add-hook 'org-clock-out-hook 'rgr/check-for-clock-out-note)
`----

it uses a tag ("clockout_note") so can benefit from inherit etc. I'm
sure its not optimal or well written but a quick test and it worked.

btw, when entering a tag "-" is illegal?
