Using another field instead of title for fetching lyrics

Would be great if there's an option where the user can choose another field instead of title for fetching lyrics. Then a virtual or custom field can be used to modify existing title into a working form for fetching lyrics. And the user can use either virtual formula with MB or regex using boroda74's ASR plugin. If this option is added, lyrics_reloaded plugin as well as the native lyrics plugin will respect the setting, right?

Even better if virtual formula or regex can be directly entered to the option to save precious virtual, custom tags with no need to use the ASR plugin.

e.g.

Lyrics_Title = $If($Split(<Title>,"(",1)=<Title>,<Title>,$Split(<Title>,"(",1))

returns Song_Title for Song_Title(feat. Artist) if title contains "(". Otherwise it returns <Title>.

but you would also have to address the issue that <Artist> might be in the format:
Main Artist feat. Guest Artist

You mean as display artist or primary artist? If that's display artist with main artist as primary artist, then it seems it's working fine. But if that's the value of primary artist, then the user should change it?

On second thought, given that the point of this feature is helping make less hassle with tagging, it makes sense that <artist> field also needs to be in the option for the people using such form as artist value. Good point!
