How to tag pages and layout (not assets) in Liferay

I have a Liferay site. I have several pages that needs to be tagged so I can get them in a custom portlet. I also need to present a page with an alphabetic index of the tagged pages.

I have read documentation and I have seen that Liferay can put a tag or a category only on "assets" (web content, etc.) and not on a page/layout.

Can you suggest me a way to do it?

You are right about tag/category, these can't be applyed to layout (unfortunately).

The best alternative is to use custom attribute and define the extra fields for the page.

See this image

You can read the custom attribute for the page using ExpandoBridge API. Here an example to read an extra attribute within the theme velocity template.

#set ($customField= $layout.getExpandoBridge().getAttribute("CustomFieldKey"))

Note: Remember to set the permissions on each custom attribute. It's very important!
