Why is it not possible add a comment and tag it to a sketch entity while the sketch is being edited?

Adding a comment, while a sketch is open for editing, there is no provision for tagging a specific sketch entity. The comment is associated to the document.
There is nothing in the comment that links it the the specific sketch the comment was made against.
Also, it doesn't appear possible to tag a comment to things (Part, Surface, Mesh, Curve) that are listed in the "resultants" part of the "Feature List".

All of these things appear possible as of now. Please let us know if the gifs I post are not the behavior you are seeing.
Commenting on an entity of an active sketch by right clicking:
Tagging an entity of the active sketch from the comment dialog:
Comments can be added similarly to parts in the parts list by either right clicking on them and selecting "Add comment..." or by starting a comment, clicking on the "tag" button, and clicking on that part in the parts list.Jake Rosenfeld - Modeling Team5

Was I dreaming that it could not be done? Did something get "fixed"?
I swear the "Tag" button in the Comments form was not there while the sketch was open for editing.1 -
I can't think of any changes we made recently! But maybe that button is not as obvious as it could be!

@Jake_Rosenfeld, I figured out what my problem was...
You only have the ability to tag an entity during the comment creation process.
Once the comment has been created the "Tag" option is not available.

One can change what entity the tag points to, but one cannot add a entity tag to a comment that has been created without one.
I do not understand why this is a restriction.
