Are there other valid "db:" link formats?  eg, for artist name search? 
Would this produce a heirarchy of albums/songs?  Can more than one
search param be put in a url? eg.
"db:album.titlesearch=Greatest%20Hits&artist.name=Genesis"?

I was thinking that this would be a great way to achieve bookmarking of
common searches.  Run a search, and click Add to favorites in the search
results (maybe on "All Songs" item), and it would store a
"db:keyword=money" for all songs containing "money".

That's the start of rudimentary support for dynamic/smart playlists.

Not really a good example, but I'm sure I have other album name clashes
that would be legitimate uses.

Anyway, my point was that it didn't seem to be a limitation - it
actually worked - I added a greatest hits album as a favorite, and when
I played the favorite, it played just the songs on that greatest hits
album, not all greatest hits albums.  So, I didn't understand why it
wasn't a limitation!
