The idea is reasonable, but using org-set-tags-command is not ideal
indeed. Instead, you can take the relevant part of org-set-tags-command
(it is all but last line of the "t" cond clause) and put it into a
separate auxiliary function. Then, you can simply call that function
inside the org-set-tags-command and inside the capture template code.
