How to create a clickable search filter on a field value in the playllist.

Technically seen 2 questions in 1 but for 1 result:

Using foobar with the default playlist component and some tweaks we did, we would like to render some custom field value output visible in the playlist column for the field rather as a "clickable" foobar search filter request. But not only for the field itself and rather as a general filter. In the moment we just have some out of the box work around here in use, where fields of a 3rd party info box component are clickable. But they would only filter in the respective column of the field itself not as a general filter.

Example: In the info box the name of the composer is a clickable filter but will only show results for composer field but not for name in general. Now I would like to to have the option (maybe with some string conversion and scripting) that the value of this field in the playlist is clickable and can be used as a general search filter for the given value.

I hope this question makes any sense.
