Not a direct solution, but hooks (Before, After, AfterStep, etc) can be set to run for specific tags, which allows you to set instance variables that are accessible in the scenario

Before('@my_tag') do  # will only run if the test has @my_tag tag
   @my_tag = true  # This instance variable will be accessible in the test
end

You could also use the fact that Before hooks get the scenario passed to them and use that to set an instance variable to the tag names

Before do |scenario|
  @tags = scenario.source_tag_names # @tags instance variable accessible in test
end
