Welcome to MobileRead calibre Forum.

Did you have a question?

AFAIK there is no automatic way in calibre to do what you stated you wanted. You could in calibre add an empty book record for each piece, manually edit each empty book record and name the relevant anthology in Comments or a custom column. You could use the identifiers link to the anthology's book page at a bibliographic site — copy and paste from Identifiers field in the anthology's Edit Metadata dialog box, into the Edit Metadata dialog Identifiers field of the piece's empty book record.
