IIRC there are people that keep the books on a NAS, but use a local Metadata for performance reasons. That solution should work.

BUT

Make 1 tiny change without the real Library and you have a lack of sync mess

If you need a Local reference, use the "Create a Catalog..." option on the Convert books icon. This is just another "book", but you can save it anyplace for offline viewing.
