First, let me state that I've done a little preliminary research on Calibre and understand that you shouldn't try to change the metadata storage structure within Calibre. I'm not seeking to change that.

Emphasis on a little research. I haven't done extensive research on the capabilities of Calibre.

Some of my "books" are audiobooks, some are in HTML format (with several HTML files and a JavaScript library), and some are educational video lectures. This presents a bit of a problem for using Calibre. My question for this is, does Calibre allow the user to add a "book" (in metadata form that allows you to add an author, publisher, etc.), when in reality the metadata points to a filesystem directory when clicked on? For now, I only have a 1-2 dozen of these "books" that would need to be configured in this way, so I can do these manually. This number would grow, and I would like to keep video courses and audiobooks alongside e-books as an open option.

Thanks!
