[v5] Search (filtering) for colors should be possible #956

Description

One can put colors on tabs:

One can search for tabs using text (which leads to a filtered list of tabs, which is good).

How to search for tabs colored in a certain color?

Reason: One wants to put priorities on tabs to read next. These tabs may be in different groups. Putting priorities is possible using colors, but there is no possibility for filtering tabs with a certain color (meaning priority).

Note: This is a (refined) variant of https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/issues/902.

I think we do need a way to: I. Mark tabs with custom colored tags (like labels in Gmail) #106 II. Filter/search the tab tree using relevant tags.

Then, ideally, the tags could be nested (like in Gmail) to display/navigate alternative grouping views. But even one flat level of tags would already be very useful.

Basically, to be able to manage the tabs by more than one dimension (tree grouping), without having to duplicate/maintain all the tabs in an alternative tree.

Reason: besides the tree grouping of tab items by (sub-) topic (e.g. related context, activity or location) we often need to dynamically distinguish what's more relevant to review/prioritize at any given time. Or vice versa, if we initially group the tabs by when they are relevant (in which order we intend to review them), it may also be necessary to track which categories or locations they belong to. Either way, only one tree dimension is often not enough in our world with multiple dimensions in space and time 🙂
