It has been -- search the Org Manual for "Matching tags and properties".
In your case, try something like:
("w" "Workday report" tags "@work|@calls|@errands"
...
)
You can also set your context tags to be mutually exclusive (ie. only
one applies to a task) so that you don't have to skip over tags. Look at
org-tag-alist for setting that up.
