Build MC 20.0.106 has this change:
NEW: Smartlists take the ~expand keyword that takes a field name and expands to every genre, artist, etc. in the match.

This means you can have a smartlist expand on any field that you like.

Let's make a simple example:
[Name]=['Cept You And Me Babe] ~expand=Artist

That will find the one track in my library named "'Cept You And Me Babe" and will then expand the list to all the files with a matching artist.

You can expand on any field.

Enjoy!

Some of the history of the feature can be seen here:

Handy. I thought it was busted at first, but you don't use [artist], just, artist

If the field to expand on contains more than one word, "wrap it in quotes".

It doesn't seem to like expanding on fields derived from calculated data.

A field name with spaces was really throwing us for a loop.  Next build:

Changed: The ~expand smartlist modifier can take a field name with spaces in it by putting the field name in quotes.
