Your template tag has access to any variable defined in the template
context (that is anything you pass from your view).
So, for example if you passed it from your view as "tag_model":

(note that is completely untested).
Another way to do it would be to write your template tag to accept an
argument which is the model you are after (as a string), and use
"django.db.models.get_model" to get the model.
