The Data Favorites (page 196) add-in supports dragging a list of tag names
in the following formats:

One row of tags separated by either a semi-colon or tab delimiter

Multiple rows (row delimited by a new line) of at least two columns
which are delimited by either a tab or a semi-colon. Only one delimiter
is used, and while there can be more than two columns in the dragged
rows, only the first two columns are used. The first column must be
the tag name, the second column may be an optional tag descriptor.
