Is what I'm asking about possibly a Plugin idea which is in the wrong place? I'm not able to program a plug in myself at this point, but am always willing to try if someone can point me in the right direction. Part of this feels like it ties in with a part of drMerry's Author Metadata plug in discussion. Or is this a feature request for the far future, particularly now that Kovid is in transit?
Thank you all for the assistance.

Do flip of the above
Leave
all the Authors in the Author column (which leaves them in the Authors DB) and Make a Main Authors column with what you want to transfer.
THEN
use the custom col in your Send/Save templates.
Note: You either need to copy single authors over
OR
Use a conditional Template:
If the custom col is Blank, use the Author_sort instead. (see the advanced template language in help.)
