Tags allow us to jump to a particular line, but I needed to get to the exact column also, for example, when I have many tags on one long line.

This is not possible with the tag format. However with Vim's regexp extensions, I am able to generate and use such tags, for example:

> tail -1 ./tags
main example.c /^\%89l\%12c/ ;" Goto line 89, column 12.
