Is there a tag for holding an object in one hand and gesturing towards it with the other? Like how infomercial hosts will hold an object up and gesture towards it with the other hand across the body with the palm up.

Mind showing an example?
holding_(some object) and open hand work for what you described, are you trying to find a tag like 'selling' or 'showing object'?

Can we make some tags for situations like these where someone is holding something and making gesture with the same hand?
Such as holding_with_v, holding_with_w, holding_with_\n/, holding_with_\m/, etc.

I would prefer a catch-all tag like holding_with_hand_gesture or holding_with_gesture first because I'm unsure about how often this type of holding comes up, but its probably worth a new tag.

I tried adding holding with gesture.
But pinky out might be a little different. Many of these are used for holding, can this be counted?

You are right, if a user wants to search for characters holding a cup (or some object) with their pinky out, they can search holding cup + pinky out or use a more broad search like holding + pinky out and most posts will show holding with the same hand that they are raising their pinky. So adding holding with gesture is not too helpful for pinky out.

In my opinion, holding with gesture should be used for gestures that typically are not used to hold objects. Pinky out is a gesture, but it is not as rare to hold objects with that gesture than it is with middle finger, v, \m/ and thumbs up, which are very stylish ways of holding an object.

You might find different opinions in Discord tho
