No, those are the supported ones.

The problem is not how to use it in the wps config, but rather that we have to add code to read out and store in ram each tag we want to have available. And we need to store those for all 16 tracks that can be in ram simultaneously.

The COMM field can be very large, in fact it has no size limit. Adding a new large field, for all 16 tracks, eats a sizeable chunk of ram.

Probably an id3 viewer/editor plugin is a better solution for those less commonly used tags.
