Clicking on Artist Name from Main Panel redirects you to Artist's Page?

Greetings!

Is it possible to configure MusicBee so that, if I click on the Artist Name (marked with a yellow box) from the Main Panel in the middle, I will be redirected to that artist's page in the music explorer, or a new search tab for that artist will be opened? Can the same be done for the Album Name?

Thanks!

Not quite, but sort of.  :-)

I don't think it's possible to click on the artist or album to link to a web page, but you can set up Internet links.
Preferences > Internet > custom web links. Then go to Arrange Panels (little box to the left of the search box) and find "track information" on the left and click on the three dots to open the settings and select which custom links you want to appear. Finally, when you select a track or album, double-click on one of your custom links and it will open the relevant page.

Here are examples to set up Wikipedia as the source:
Wikipedia Artist     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=<Artist>
Wikipedia Title     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=<Title>
Wikipedia Album     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=<Album>

You can use any source or sources you want. Such as Discogs, MusicBrainz, Amazon, etc. You just have to figure out the correct syntax to get the proper results.

Also, middle-click on any value in the main panel will do a search for that value. It doesn't open a new tab unless the tab you're in is locked.

Thank you! This is excellent to know! Basically solves my problem

Thank you, but I want it to function offline

Years and years of MusicBee, and didn't know that.
Thank you :p

Thank you for the added information. I guess there are a lot of things to be explored around.
