Just to add a bit more detail: Seif is looking to create a new dialog that can utilize this control. One could access this new dialog - perhaps - by clicking on a new button to the right of the Storage Tags text field (ex. in the Add Primary Storage dialog). This new dialog would utilize the new control to show the admin all existing storage tags, allow for tags to be selected, and provide hints when a user types in a new tag. When this dialog is OKed, the storage tags can be listed in a comma-separated fashion in the, say, Add Primary Storage dialog. This way the admin doesn't have to guess at storage tags when entering them in a manual fashion.
