Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like another API endpoint similar to api/v1/album/{artistId} but with the ability to pass in the ForignArtistId.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Can't think of any

Additional context
The reason for this is in Ombi, I would like to give the ability to search via Artist, then show the albums by that Artist, currently this is not possible unless they have that artist already in Lidarr.

@danielunderwood do you have a parameter built into album lookup on metadata side that would allow lookup by artist to return all albums? Worst case we just make a Artist call which returns all albums already.

Not if you're saying by search. I suppose it could be added if necessary. The current flow would be to do a search and follow that up with an artist request.
