Searching through the Options, I found no setting for this. Does the current version support this?

I'm on 2.2.2 build 152.
Please be very careful doing this as nobody wants to see the pool get polluted. That said, here's what flac officially say about their tags.

What kinds of tags does FLAC support?

FLAC has it's own native tagging system which is identical to that of Vorbis. They are called alternately "FLAC tags" and "Vorbis comments". It is the only tagging system required and guaranteed to be supported by FLAC implementations.

Out of convenience, the reference decoder knows how to skip ID3 tags so that they don't interfere with decoding. But you should not expect any tags beside FLAC tags to be supported in applications; some implementations may not even be able to decode a FLAC file with ID3 tags.
HTH,
