Comment(by stevage):

 By contiguity not being necessary, you mean you'd select all ways with the
 same name (or ref/...) even if they weren't contigous? That would get a
 lot of false positives...
 I don't think the recursion would be particularly hard (or scary) to write
 - even fun, maybe.

 Ok, if we need to support other tags like ref (which I agree with), then
 what could the interface look like? A dropdown box next to the Key field
 feels too intrusive (imho) for a pretty niche feature. Maybe a button on
 the same row as Delete and Add, "Find related"? Hold down Ctrl and click a
 tag?

 Btw can you spell out your "AND" requirement? You want to be able to
 specify multiple tags, and select all ways that match all of them? Is this
 important? Is one tag not enough? What's the use case?
