Unfortunately this is not what I was looking for. But I found a possibility how to do it with the FrontEnd: SetOptions[NotebookSelection@InputNotebook[], CellTags -> ...]; One problem still remains: You can only set CellTags this way (and overwrite existing ones), not add CellTags (that is what I was looking for).

It should work for M4.0 - M5.2.
