3) Edit the metadata for the book
4) Remove "physical" book and paste the location where the "physical" book is residing into the custom metadata column.
Naturally, you won't be able to copy from Calibre to your device as Calibre won't know where to find the book...

What's the point of that? You're basically adding an empty book with a pointer to your own location. Because it's an empty book, you can't do
anything with it in calibre -- you can't convert it, open it to read, sync it to a device, etc. You may as well just manually write your books down in Excel or something, for all the benefit this gives you.
