How about this?
match Todo '\[my-custom-tag]\zs\_.\{-}\ze\[/my-custom-tag]'
where you can certainly choose some highlight group other than Todo.
You can put that line just as it is into your .vimrc, or put it in
an after/ftplugin/txt.vim file, or create an autocommand to invoke
it on just the files you want.
