That's what I came up with:
1. Created new folder
Calibre Authors next to the Calibre Library
2. Created new word file
AndersonP in it
3. Pasted
<div><h4><a href="file:///C:%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5Cuser%5CCalibre%2 0Authors%5CAndersonP.doc"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#7100CC">Poul William Anderson (1926-2001)</font></a></h4>
into comments (html view).
Took some tries to get it right, but now it's a working link!
Couldn't make an epub, and Word is easier to edit too.
Added one just to illustrate what info I'd want (probably will cut some bibliography -maybe).
