Hi, Emanuel. There is already the ability to search for messages by
path with the "folder:" search prefix. From "notmuch help search-terms":
The folder: prefix can be used to search for email message
files that are contained within particular directories within
the mail store. Only the directory components below the top-level
mail database path are available to be searched.
You can then easily apply arbitrary tags with something like:
notmuch tag +foo -- folder:foo
hth.
