I understand SE policy is that whenever someone asks a question with a new tag, the tag is automatically created. But is there a way to incorporate a tag without asking a needless question?

There is no way to create a tag without attaching it to a question. It doesn't have to be a new question, but creating a tag in a vacuum isn't an option.
There's little point in having orphaned tags around and we already take steps to clean up tags without questions associated with them.

in that link you provided. On the other hand you should read the "When" section of that page. $\endgroup$
