I agree this could be interesting functionality. However, I believe UniProt's sequence variant tags won't be very useful for searches because they're from all sorts of samples; Gloria Sheynkman showed something similar with dbGaP in her 2014 article.
For isoforms, one can search the FASTA canonical & isoform database and use GPTMD to get modifications.
Apparently we're not reading these in, though we do read in the protein's annotated modified residues. It may or may not be a good idea to read in all SNVs, etc. but maybe we should provide options to search these annotated species.
Counting entries in a human canonical reviewed XML:
Entries: 20397 proteins "isoform" XML tags: 32925 (though it seems that perhaps this includes the canonical sequences?) "modified residue" tags: 52891 "sequence variant" tags: 79669
