I believe calibre tucks copies of all columns and metadata inside the epub in some non-standard tags.
How can one view them - they don't show up the ebook-viewer metadata 'overlay', nor as far as I see in the 'book jacket' (which I don't normally have in my books) and I cant see them in the content.opf file when I open the epub in Tweak nor can I see them Sigil.

They are in the metadata.opf file in the book folder, they're 'tucked away' as entries of the form <meta name="calibre:user_metadata:#columnname"....

I think the content of the embedded metadata is defined by conventions/standards, see Wiki link in my previous post. But maybe there could be something that would allow one to put custom columns into the 'book jacket' - maybe something like Generate Cover.
