Unfortunately no, the 3rd party who asked me to implement the back-end
for virtual libraries never got to implement the front-end...

The best you have is the Advanced Search: create a search which would
only return the stuff you want. Then save it as a library.

How would you usually access the "special tracks"? If by browsing
folders only, you could use the "normal tracks" folder as the music
folder only, configure LMS to _not_ scan the special tracks (remove the
Music checkbox in the path settings), then access it from the Browse
File System menu.
