Is there a way to group a set of bones with a unique name

Aside from using the limited coloured bones function to group similar bones together. Is there a way to allow me to group them with a unique name? e.g. "Arm Bones", "Leg Bones". so that i can select them easily to view and edit their animation.

Yes, I wish I could tag bones to make selection sets for them.

For example, add an 'SBD' tag so I can select all SBD bones and reset their rotation at once; or a 'tail' tag so I can select all tail bones for keyframing with Sketch bones; or add separate tags for bone chains in hair or tentacles to make it easier to animate each strand/tentacle. These were all actual scenarios where I could have used this, and I can come up with many more real-world cases.
