Yes.
I had quite the opposite experience from you: I always used the library items' RMB Links menu, and just ignored all the "distractions" between the tabs and the album cover size slider. I only discovered Links in the latter location after hunting for the Spotlight icon (which is no longer there :) ). Then I made them more obvious by adding a labeled divider at the very top of the Links menu. Also, Links/chevron/slider to the right of the tabs are sometimes completely hidden, depending on the number of tabs and width of the overall MC window.
BTW, clicking on one of those makeshift divider lines in the Links menu leads to a blank screen labeled "Loading...". It would be nice if there was a more robust do-nothing response to labeled dividers, i.e. entries without a URL.

JimH:
Spotlight in build 34 (now on this board) has some significant changes.
Play anything, then click on the small yellow circle in the upper right corner. SL loads a new page with a brief bio, albums, similar artists, and artist images.
Click on an album to look it up on Wikipedia, or if it's in your library, click the play button to play it.
Clicking on a similar artist loads an SL page for that artist.
A related change will load Playing Now if you click on the album thumbnail in the upper right corner of MC. It's a handy way to jump to Playing Now.

For some reason Wikipedia uses 2 variants for Artist1 + Artist2 Combinations - some of the time it uses "Artist1 & Artist2" at others it uses "Artist1 and Artist2"
Try changing beth hart & joe bonamassa to beth hart and joe bonamassa to see if that works
