Trigger pipeline when a tag is released

Proposal
We do certain CI actions when a tag is created. After some time the tag is verified and planned for a release. So when a release is created from a tag I would like that to trigger a pipeline. Then in GitLab-CI I would like a job that handles the release logic. Additionally, it would be great, since you give the option of 'Upcoming Release', to have a 'one-off' scheduled pipeline created. Which is a bit different than the scheduled pipeline implementation. I could use that to identify a job and execute my release logic.
From: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/releases/release_cicd_examples.html, I see:
Tag first, release second:
A tag is created via UI or pushed.
A tag pipeline is triggered, and runs release job.
A release is created.What I really want is:
Tag first, release second:
A tag is created via UI or pushed.
A tag pipeline is triggered. (and possibly run release job)
A release is created.
A release pipeline is triggered.
