are there known ways to tag work items in TFS 2010? What type of field do I need to add, where the user can select different tags for a work item from a list of recommended tags and type in new tags for that list?

For what purpose you want that? To make custom work item queries made on a given tag value? – Nock
Yes, to group work items beyond their association with a parent work item. E.g. all work items affecting "design" or all items affecting "refactoring-step1". – Konrad

There is no support for tags as you know and love it from other products like Stack Overflow. It is high on our wish list though ...

The ability to tag work items is available in TFS 2013.

Someone suggested a single text field with space-separated keywords. This certainly isn't as good as built-in tagging support, but it might do. I'm also looking for a better solution. I wonder if TFS 2012 has anything new in this area?
