"Add tag" action from a Zapier Zap

xdhmoore says:
I'm using a Zapier table to score and sort a list of tasks imported from RTM. Now I want to be able to press a button on the Zapier table to add an RTM tag "x-mark" to the corresponding task in RTM. But the only options I have for a Zapier zap actions are:

* mark task completed
* create new task
* search (and optionally create) a task
* run a MilkScript with no arguments

What I want to do is use the RTM task id that is in my Zapier table to look up the RTM task and add a tag like "x-marked". But I don't see a way to do that.

Here is my workaround:

In Zapier trigger a Zap that creates an RTM task with a name "x-from-zapier" and serialized JSON in the tag's notes containing the RTM task id. Then kick off a MilkScript.

In the MilkScript, find all the x-from-zapier tasks, read the JSON from their notes, and use the task id to find and tag the relevant RTM tasks.

We'll see how long the duct tape holds...
