Tip for using Stylistic Alternate glyphs Open Type fonts

I may be missing something but i hope this helps some.

A font that i knew had "Stylistic Alternate" glyphs (as i could use them in PS) couldn't be seen in Inkscape. I randomly saw that this font glyph set had a "tag" for these alternates. The Tag was "salt". As an example see https://www.fonts.com/font/mans-greback/krinkes/regular

After typing the tag name "salt" into the input box under Text and Font Editor > Variants Tab > Feature Settings i was able to apply the glyph set.

If i've completely missed the right way of doing this please let me know. Drove me nuts.
