One can also use the Search box to load a specific release in Picard, just copy’n’paste the url of the release in the Search box edit field, press Search, Picard will parse it, and use the mbid to load the release.
This feature isn’t well documented, and is a bit hacky, but it is very useful imho.
Note that if you paste a release group or artist URL, the behavior is different, Picard will open the URL in a browser.
