I searched google and found people denied short checking. I don't want to short check or things like that and my intention is not hidden city, i just want to access my bag whenever needed in transit. I was just asking if Air Canada could provide me 2 different tags as per my request. I collect tags as hobby and would be great if they provide me 2 different tags.
Sounds weird but I am a tag collector. Do let me know thanks

Which card do you use for your airfare purchases? Also, the shopping spree may not be worth your time if you're flying to a small town or a place not known for shopping right?

But why would you book a 12-13 hour layover if you are just looking to have access to your luggage? Wouldn't the sensible thing to book a shorter layover, get to CPH, and retrieve your luggage there. Let's say you are able to retrieve your bags at LHR, are you planning to haul them around London for 12 hours or so?
Also, any issue with your flight to LHR, AC can reroute you on the nonstop flight from YYZ to CPH.
I understand the intention is not hidden city, but does the same ticket/reservation contain a return flight back to YYZ?

It depends what the OP is planning to do. I fly YYZ - LHR - somewhere else in Europe several times a year. YYZ - LHR is the daytime flight AC868. The stop in LHR is overnight but less than 24 hours so it does not count as a stopover. AC akways checks my bag to LHR. I don't know if it's even possible to check it through.
