@matti.vl Sorry, no wildcards here.
The comparison function for searching a tag in the follow-tags list is in 
src/options.c ~L619:
```
static int WGET_GCC_NONNULL_ALL compare_tag(const wget_html_tag *t1, const 
wget_html_tag *t2)
{
        int n;

        if (!(n = wget_strcasecmp_ascii(t1->name, t2->name))) {
                if (!t1->attribute) {
                        if (!t2->attribute)
                                n = 0;
                        else
                                n = -1;
                } else if (!t2->attribute) {
                        n = 1;
                } else
                        n = wget_strcasecmp_ascii(t1->attribute, t2->attribute);
        }

        return n;
```

So we could add wildcard support here.
I would rather put 'regular' HTML tags and attributes into our static list.
But I see your need for wildcard custom tags...
Leaving this issue open to anyone who might like to work on it.
