Hi.
I believe that this issue has been suggested several times earlier, but I would really like to have the possibility to add a Youtube Music or Spotify track as audio track. Since Google Play Music were abandoned by Google, I have been struggling to get audio files downloaded for use in MobileSheets. Especially when I "need" A-B playback I am often resorting to youtube-dl to get the files available locally, so a web player inside of mobile sheets would be a very good addition.
Smart button  to YouTube?
Yes, that is a temporary workaround as I see it. I have yet to find a solution to A-B repeat in the YT music app. Youtube-dl is more usable for now.
My recommendation: Use the fork yt-dlp since youtube-dl hasn't been updated for a long time and yt-dlp has better and more recent adjustments for the YouTube downloads.
It depends on what the APIs will support for those services. There wasn't a way to support Spotify playback on Windows through the API last time I checked, so I'll have to revisit this to see if anything has changed. YouTube Music does not support an official API for external access, so that one can't be supported.

As most devices are now connected, a field named "link" in the metadata form of the score could allow opening the web browser to the desired page ?
You can already achieve that with smart buttons. Add a smart button with the action set to URL and it will launch whatever url is specified in a browser.
