Yes, the Context View applets are all plasmoids, and as such most of
the basic Plasmoid JavaScript API should be available for you.
In addition Amarok provides certain APIs to get details like currently
playing song and so on. See

http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/Scripting_HowTo_2.0

In addition the classes in amarok/src/scriptengine/ usually have
one-to-one mappings in the JS environment, so they can serve as some
idea of a reference, and amarok/src/dialogs/ScriptManager.cpp
::startScriptEngine() introduces various Amarok components into JS, eg
Amarok.Engine, Amarok.Importer, Amarok.Lyrics, so you can refer to
that for a starting point.
