I know you can already sorta do this, but I would like to have something that can do it from the main book list without having to go through the multiple levels of selection in the grouping menu.
I think you are asking that the grouping drawer be shown as some kind of grid, or perhaps for an interface similar to the content server and cloud connections where the categories are presented as a tree. Both would require massive changes in CC. Even worse would be some rule-based scheme to determine what is shown directly vs collapsed. So this one is a "no".

DoctorOhh's suggestion gives a way to navigate from a book to "similar" books, where "similar" is defined by sharing metadata. Tapping a link in book details also selects that metadata item in the grouping drawer.

If your device is large enough you could force the grouping drawer to remain open, simplifying navigation somewhat.
