I keep a few standard tabs open (Music, Now Playing, Auto DJ, Radio, Podcasts) to quickly switch between different functions.  When I click a library filter link in the Selected/Playing Track details, it opens the filter in whatever the current tab is.  It would be nice to have an option to create a new tab in this case, so that the other tabs keep their current display.

Also, adding a checkbox or something to make other fields into library filter links would be great, so that you can easily find stuff related to the currently selected track.  Something like this:

Hi!  Welcome to the forum.

Both of your requests are already available in some form.

To open filters in a new tab, first right click on Music and choose the Show Filters option.  Then right click on a filter and choose Open in New Tab.  (Middle clicking on the filter will do the same thing.)

<Artist> and <Album> fields in Track Details are shown as clickable links, which I see you already have set to go to the library filter.  If you're using the Album and Tracks library view, all fields shown for the album are clickable links.
