hi all. i've been trying to write my own discogs websource and i came upon this problem.

i want %ARTIST% field to be read from to html links, not plain text i.e.  
[-=UHU=-](https://community.mp3tag.de/artist/<b>-%3DUHU%3D-</b>)  
or  
[Advent, The](https://community.mp3tag.de/artist/<b>Advent%2C+The</b>)

**-%3DUHU%3D-** and **Advent%2C+The** are the parts that i need  
how do i convert them to **-=UHU=-** and **Advent, The** , without creating "bruteforce" script with tons of replacing.

i want to use this in order to avoid name variations. so that all tagged files would have (i.e.) Plastikman, but not Plasticman or Plastik Man.

thanks!
