See the attached partial screenshot from oVirt, where this is implemented quite nicely. This is /not/ to replace proper monitoring but to provide a quick overview over the PVE-based intrastructure

Isn't this what Datacenter -> Search could be? Note that the list drops any attachments.

Why not use the VM/CT notes? Editable over VM/CT -> Summary panel?

Dominik has done some patches adding "tags", which then would be searchable.
Some backend support is there, but we had some discussion about how to integrate
them in the frontend. I think this will be picked up soonish and should provide
what you seek in b) maybe also a1..
