Dunno about the clever part.  
Generally the info from the FAQ [/t/967/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1) apply.

So e.g. if you have artist and albumartist and want to append albumartist with artist then use an action of the type "Format tag field" for ALBUMARTIST  
enter as formatstring:  
%albumartist% %artist%

BTW: What is the "track name"? TITLE? Filename? TRACK? COMMENT?
