If you click once on the artwork, you'll get a list of tracks, but that isn't the same as what you see in the Track Details view. Hovering over the artwork pops up a 'play' button which will send the album's tracks to the Now Playing list and start playing.
If this doesn't do what you want, you should post it in the Wishlist section for possible consideration. Personally I'd rather have the current behavior (the play button on hover) than access to Track Details.
