They allow you to jump around to specific locations in a file.

For example, in vim, pressing CTRL+] on "\in[sec:first]"  will jump to the 
location where sec:first is defined. Basically, a ctags file contains tag 
and the file name and line number where those tags are defined. The editor 
then reads the ctags file and jumps to the appropriate location.

A few years back, I had written a MkII module that generated ctags file 
when a tex file was compiled (attached). It was a hack that redefined a 
few low level macros.

To provide proper support for ctags, we also need to store the current 
filename and line number for each reference in the tuc file. Then a module 
can read the tuc file and write the ctags file in an appropriate format.
