what javascript: all that is shown is HTML.
in the Metadata edito comments view there is a Tab to switch to HTML(code view). once the URL is there, it is click-able in the normal 'Book Details'

Surely the gurus around here will provide better examples. In the meantime here are my 2 cents. It seems that, at least to some extent, it is possible to embed some JavaScript:

1-Create a custom column; set the type as “Long text, like…”
2-Click edit metadata and select the “Custom metadata” tab.
3-Slect the "HTML Source" tab.
4- Copy and paste the following code:

<div>
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="JavaScript:alert('So you did it!')"></div>
<p></p>
<div>
<button type="button" onclick="JavaScript:alert('You did it again!')">Click here.</button>
</div>

5-Click OK to close the Metadata editor.

Now on the “book details view” you will see two buttons that will pop up scripted messages.

Good luck!

I have decided to withdraw this offer as haven't had the time to put together mock ups and doesn't appear to be much interest.

Thanks to all who contributed. I have decided just to consolidate my audiobooks into single m4b files using chapter and verse.

No need to write any HTML as such

The comments editor has an Insert Link button that pops up a dialogue box with fields for the URI and Name.

I posted this because I've seen two "have a look here" references to the thread, so it seemed useful to clarify this item.
