Material Tags in linked elements with Custom VGO

Finding that in what regards tagging elements from linked models with Custom VGO settings, one needs to ensure the matching Category is made visible in both the host model and the overriden linked one.

 

Such realization occurred when in a project the linked model with Custom VGO settings had the Generic Model category visible but it was set to not visible in the main VGO settings. In spite of one being capable of TAB+Selecting the Generic Model element in the linked model the Material Tag could not read from its properties.
