How to use a phone (Android and/or Windows) as an NFC-tag keychain?



Let me start by saying that I hope that I've posted this topic in the right place.

The scenario: so let's say I'd have a bunch of devices I wanted to unlock via NFC. Per device I'd have 1 tag.
The problem: but then I'd have to carry a bunch of tags around -- and god forbid if I'd happen to lose one.
The solution: what would make things much more convenient, is to use my phone as a NFC-tag keychain. I'd store the virtual tags in an app or some thing, and I'd emulate a tag through the phone when I want to unlock a device.
The questions: how and what would enable me to store multiple tags on my phone, and easily access them? And if I would select a virtual tag, could my phone then use that virtual tag to emulate a phyisical NFC tag?

I've genuinely tried to research all this, but I could just not find any clear cut answers. I guess that my sought-after-solution is either not mainstream enough, or I'm not posing the right queries to Google. Also I can't do my own testing, because my current phone does not support NFC. My near-future phone definitely will. You might ask why I am posing these questions now then? Reason is is that right now I want to building some NFC readers for locks for said devices. But before I do so, I'd have to know if my phone can indeed act as an NFC-tag keychain.
