I'm pretty sure you can't track them through the network. You can't say "track this air tag wherever it goes".

But you could use a device to track the signal the air tag emits as long as you're in range.

    Doesn’t the AirTag’s emitted ID cycle and change?

    I don't know myself, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to track the change. Just look at when tracker abc disappears and when tracker xyz takes its place. Unless you're in an area with lots of trackers, it wouldn't be too difficult to weed out the target tracker.
