Better access to mapped information inside of multiple tags

Using a branched expression %<tag>% inside of string functions isn't safe. That doesn't really matter if there wouldn't be the rare cases where you have multiple values and each of this values is a mapping between two informations: f.e. the PERFORMER tag that has following structure: musician (instrument). So it is not possible to create a list of just the musicians or a view in album list ... like musician|instument|title. But even if such string operations would work i think they would slow down the things extremly.

Would it be a solution if the mapped information would be saved in database.fpl additionally as seperate tags? I mean something similar like that: in advanced preferences i define Performer tag as "musician (instrument)" and when i save the performer tag i have acces to the informations inside of it not only with %performer% and %<performer>% but also with %musician%, %<musician>%, %instrument% and %<instrument>%.
