Correct. To change tags on a Pick only Extend can do that. No script can affect a Pick only Things.

Making large scale rule changes gets sort of hard because you often run into a situation where you can't easily "turn off" the changes.

Even using Replace Thing ID is dangerous if you plan to distribute because you can only have ONE replace thing id. So if in my own .user files I replace the same thing you do then HL will error out and fall into safe mode.

In addition as you found "Replace Thing" happens WAY before any source is checked.
