That makes no sense. Custom tags are not beans that have properies you can access in that fashion.
What you can do is to have the tag emit scoped variables with "results" that you can utilize in EL references later on the page.

Sounds to me like you are confusing beans with tags. A bean is an object with a specific state. Therefore throughout your html you can get/set it's properties. Tags on the other hand are about processing data and are often used to produce beans which you can then access. Depending on what you are trying to access you might approach things in a number of ways. For example, you might get your tag to create a bean in page scope which <c:if> tags can then interrogate to decide if things should be visible. Or you might construct a tag which optionally includes it's body if the visible flag is set.
There are lots of subtle variations on the above and also ways of mixing tags and beans more closely, but you need to have a clear pciture of what you are trying to achieve first.
