Tokens based on Tags

I have a field value pair of the following:

node_primary_node_group_id=3
node_primary_node_group_id=4
node_primary_node_group_id=5
and so on....

I created a tag for these values. ex:
node_primary_node_group_id=3 (Web Servers)
node_primary_node_group_id=5 (App Servers)
node_primary_node_group_id=5 (DB Servers)

I want to create a token that would let the user see Dropdown Form Input Element with the tags I created - Web, App, and DB Server.

I think I understand the basixc syntax for a DropDown Form Input Element but not sure how to use tags. This is possible?

You may not need tags for this purpose. You can create a drop-down that is dynamically populated. Like this

<input type="dropdown" token="tokTag">
<search>
<query>index=xyz earliest=-1d@d | stats count by node_primary_node_group_id | eval tag=case(node_primary_node_group_id=1, "Web Servers", node_primary_node_group_id=2, "App Servers", node_primary_node_group_id=3, "DB Servers", 1=1, "UNK") | fields node_primary_node_group_id tag</query>
      <fieldForLabel>tag</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>node_primary_node_group_id</fieldForValue>
</input>

In the query for your dependent panel, use the tokTag, as the user selected value to filter your data. Like this

<search>
<query>index=xyz node_primary_node_group_id=$tokTag$" | ...</query>
</search>
