Yeah, that's actually why internal fields aren't good enough in my
use-case either - track-description-function can use stuff from bunch
of different tags, fallback to filename (splitting file/directory
names into fields), replace underscores with spaces and do all sorts of
other tweaks there.

So it's hard or even impossible to tell what to match from internal
fields from just looking at such playlist buffer.
