Sorry, just came back to this post and realized it wasn't very clear.
What I would like to do is have each tag have a descriptor that
specifies what aspect of the object it is tagging. For example, if I
have a model Interview, I would like to be able to tag the interview
multiple times with tags (in the form (name,descriptor)) ("microsoft",
"company"), ("campus", "location"). The problem now is that I can only
tag said model as ("microsoft") and ("campus"). I would like to do
this because I don't want to hardcode fields into my model, so that
the end-user can add or remove fields through an interface on the
front-end. I'm not sure if it is worth mucking up the
acts_as_taggable_on_steroids plugin though. Does anyone have any
ideas?
