getting articles by tags for widget position

Hi,

I’m using the SteamPixel Category Slider plugin which works great to display a bunch of articles with preview images, etc. in a widget position.

For refining the results I want to make use of article tags additionally.

That’s how the articles are crawled actually:

function sp_tags_slider($atts){

	$html = '';

	//Get Attributes
	$args = shortcode_atts(
		array(//Set default
			'category' => 'common',
			'order_by' => 'post_date',
			'order' => 'DESC',
			'limit' => 10,
			'text_length' => 200,
			'link' => 'true',
			'slide_duration' => 2000,
			'auto_start' => 'true',
			'start_time' => 60000,
			'cycle_time' => 10000,
			'show_headers' => 'true',
			'image_size'	   => 'large',
			'thumbnail_size'   => 'thumbnail',
			'thumbnail_menu'   => 'true'
		),
		$atts
	);

Is it even possible to filter the results by article tags?

kind regards
