You'd have to figure out how its search routine works. I'd start by copying one of the other link templates you already have and copying it to the Deezer spot, change the URL to Deezer's and see what happens. It's going to be trial and error until you get the results you're looking for.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I suppose it's possible it doesn't allow links with search criteria. I've come across a couple like that over the years.

If  they -do- allow them, then you'll just have to play with it until it works. Or ask over at Deezer.

This seems to work:

Code
https://www.deezer.com/search/<Album Artist> <Album>

Code
https://www.deezer.com/search/<Artist> <Title>

Interesting. I'm pretty sure I tried that and wound up with a 404. Or maybe a 403.

It definitely worked for me. I disabled the web browser plugin, and so the links end up in my default browser Vivaldi.

Right beside I can highly recommend the browser Vivaldi.

Just as versatile configurable as MusicBee.

Truth be told: it wasn't the most difficult one to figure out:

Yeah, you're a Hero Member and I'm a Sr. Member. I spent two hours this morning trying in vain to find the right URL.

That 'hero' label doesn't say that much, it's just a count of the amount of posts of a user.
(I'm not sure, 500 or so?)
So somebody that just asks a lot of questions will also automatically become a hero one day.

(I just hope I am not triggering other members to start asking lots of silly questions now ;-)

Same here with <Album Artist> <Album>.  I did the same thing @hiccup did which was go to Deezer and run a search and then it worked once in MB but didn't work subsequently.

Interesting. What browser are you using?
(FireFox here)
Or perhaps some browser plugin that obstructs something?

edit
Or, maybe Deezer has some time counter for subsequent searches this way?

Chrome, but I think it has something to do with the content of the search.

Spacehog - As it is On Earth works fine

Samia - Lasting Friend / Paris does not (HTTP_NOT_FOUND although it exists on Deezer)

The B-52's - Whammy! works fine

Maybe it's just slashes that create a problem.
