Suggestion: Full cover preview at search results (was write access to "CurrentPreview" from within ParserScriptAlbum)

Using this, I think (untested- I'm having this idea while typing) you would end up with a Search Results page that -while not able to open with double-click- will either open an album webpage OR the cover image URL via keyboard shorcut, with the toggle between either result managed from Settings.

Late to the party, but I've whipped up a test script to test the above idea, and it works as intended; so the 'Preview' button can have its destination link dynamically modified via Settings.

I've added those two with Mp3tag 3.36-beta.6. The new placeholder is named %_coverfullurl% and I already updated the builtin Tag Sources accordingly.

3.36-beta.6 (2026-08-21)

• NEW: added a button for previewing the full cover to the Tag Sources query results dialog (if provided by the Tag Source). (#71720)

I also had thought about using right-click (currently without use in Search Results) to open a context menu for each listed album entry, but was too late to suggest it.
Oh well, all the more buttons to get creative with.....

It actually makes my use case for setting CurrentPreviewinParserScriptAlbumpointless, but maybe someone else has an application for this.

Yes..... 'someone else' just might.
