Promoted or featured links above regular link list (with a different sort/filter)

Posted about this earlier (I think in the thread about default sort order) and it came up in the ~science thread on what killed Reddit AMAs: https://tildes.net/~science/py/how_reddit_killed_science_amas#comment-3e1

Basically having a "featured" or "promoted" set of links above the usual links that are:

1. limited to a small number of posts

2. use a different sort order than whatever the user has selected

3. filtered by tag

This would make it possible for ~science (as an example) to always have the latest 3 AMAs (posts tagged with AMA) show up above the other set of links and would solve the problem that r/science AMAs had on reddit where they had to compete in the regular list of links.
