Favorite/List of Folders on a Single Tab.

Can anyone please tell me if/how is possible to set a list of locations/folders and display all of them on a single tab, the easiest way possible? Say: load a script/function, point it to a .txt containing such a list (or copy it/read it from clipboard) and see XY listing all of them at a given tab (ideally named "Favorite Folders or something like that)?
Thanks!

This could be used as a sort of session manager, too.
Also, it is important to keep it flexible and NOT (but optionally do) attached to always read Favorites > Favorite Folders, in ways of keeping the session manager spirit.

Workaround:
It's a bit difficult ("jibery pokery", is that the term...? lol), but works if one don't mind in doing a few preparation steps and wasting some tags:
-select and tag (use the same tag for all!) the set of folders you want to use.
-use the "Find Tags" special button to find them all at once.
-now, select the files/folder you want to spread across several folders at once and use the
Propagate Files Across Selected Folders (
selected files must be in inactive pane, destination folders must be selected too!)

An extra tip, if one may want to have all tagged FOLDERS as destination instead of a certain tag only:
-assign
goto "*?tag:*"; code to a Custom Toolbar Button, select the folders you want and do what you need as prior described.
(Thanks to serendipity for
the hint!)

Took a time but I managed to get this one:
it will display all selected Folder+Files ("items", default)/FOLDERS/FILES only and get them selected and ready for the job!
Code: Select all
"Shows All Tagged Items!|:favs"
goto "*?tag:*";
"Shows All Tagged FILES!|:favfiles"
goto "*?tag:*";
focus;
filter "!\|*"; //hide all folders|show files only
selfilter , f;
"Shows All Tagged FOLDERS!|:showfolders"
goto "*?tag:*";
focus;
filter "\|!*"; //hide all files|show folders only
selfilter , d;
Tip: for general usage, you may want to disable ("//") the
selfilter parameters.
