Sorry but --from-here is not such option. Normally it is not used on the
command line.
I am sorry that the description of the online manual is inadequate.

Rather, --nearness option has a close meaning to your suggestion.
The --nearness option displays tags closer to the current position first.
However, at present, only directory can be specified as an argument.

Present specification: --nearness=<directory>

How about changing the spec to accept a file as an argument of it?

New specification: --nearness=<file or directory>

If a file is specified, global gives it the highest priority.

Does this meet your requirements?
