Add new tag on the fly based on external action?

[martynchamberlin]

I have a select menu that enables tagging, as per https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select/wiki/ui-select.

Here's the user experience I'd like:

1. I'm in the select menu and I type some custom text that the dropdown can't match.
2. I click an external submit button
3. This click causes that custom text to populate as a new tag in the select menu.

Right now I can easily make #3 happen by hitting the submit button (that's the tagging-tokens option). But I'd like to do it by clicking a submit button instead.

Any ideas how to do that? Possible?

Thank you!

Closing as usage issue. Not sure it's possible.
