I'm trying to create a wall tag that resembles a detail bubble but has the top calling out the wall type and the bottom the sheet where the detail for the wall is located.  Is this even possible and if so, how?  Please use small words, it's Friday and it's been a hell of a week.  My brain hurts.  I'm using Revit 2015

Callouts are not available in tags.  Only shared parameters can be used in tags.   So knowing this:

1. Created a new shared parameter - let's call it 'SHOWN ON'.
2. In your project (or template), load this shared parameter as a project parameter and assign it to walls.  (Probably type based)
3. Edit your wall tag and add this shared parameter to the tag family and load it into project (template).

You will have to assign the sheet number to this parameter for those wall types.

Thanks.  Right after doing that I saw many more ways to use such parameters.  Yay!
