Does this only give you one level of tags? (i.e you can't combine tags when exploring)

It does, unfortunately. But you probably could implement finding something with two tags with some command-line fu.

My first crack at it is this:

    find -L tags/tag1 tags/tag2 -xtype l | sort | uniq -d

I don't know if that would work (on mobile; can't test), but from reading the man pages, it seems like it would do the trick.

Replying again to give you a command that I've tested:

    find -L tags/tag1 tags/tag2 -xtype l | xargs readlink -f | sort | uniq -d
