Indeed, it enables pf to change its behaviour toward some hosts dynamically=
.
I will build a blacklist of ip which have been recognized as compromized
(botnets, spam, etc). I build a table with thoses IP.

If I match a connection between one host of my internal network and one
blacklisted ip, there are chances that this host is infected.
I want to do a comprehensive capture of this host connections by adding src
ip to a table of hosts to watch. A dup-to rule dump traffic from "host to
watch" table to a sensor.

Here are the rules :
pass in on $int_if from any to <blacklist> add ipsrc <infected_hosts>
pass in on $int_if dup-to ($sensor_if, sensor_ip) from <infected_hosts> to
any

Unless I miss something, I think it is not possible to make this example
just with pf(4) tags : it would have been possible if I wanted to copy only
the traffic between my hosts and botnets.
