TL;DR
Drag & Click Ghost to Console for TagWhat ?
Drag & Click Ghost to Console for Tag, to replicate Item functionality.Why ?
Because you might not have the item on you, also for consistency's sake.(Note that both Item and Ghost Cursors in Console seem to be identical, which might cause confusion as to why the Ghost one isn't working...)
