An alternative, involving a bit of work but may be worth it, is to use the "artists" and / or "album artists" tags in conjunction with MBIDs, to achieve what you want (and maybe more).
Example, Musicbrainz treats "Art Bakely Quartet" as a separate artist from "Art Blakely" So if you have the release "A Jazz Message" you could tag is as:
Album Artist "Art Blakely Quartet"
but add new tags
Album Artists "Art Blakely / Art Blakely Quartet"
Musibcbrainz Album Artist Id "601e7466-eaf5-4a91-9909-ffd770b7e04a / 627024b1-5504-406c-ac2c-dfaebf403cd9"
The value of this extra tagging work, is now with "album artists only" in your music settings, under artist "Art Blakely" you see this album (and all other albums so tagged), but also an entry "Art Blakely Quartet" with just this album, so you have flexibility as how you view things.
