It is not quite clear to me why you mean by

If you want to see the files that have cover art:  
%\_covers% PRESENT  
or the opposite:  
%\_covers% MISSING  
Or what did you have in mind?

I am looking at filtering the list with covers MATCHING a string value, that is the name of the cover art,

you can filter for the type of a cover (front, back, artist, etc.) (%\_cover\_type%)  
You cannot filter for the label.
