If what you are looking for is a button that says "Click me and I will do what you want me to do", then no, calibre has no such button.

You need to be willing to learn/explore, or you will always be limited to doing only tasks that have corresponding buttons, in every software program you use.

For instance, if you are scared of the command line, you can use the catalog feature to generate a csv catalog in calibre (that actually has a button) and then import it into a spreadsheet program to get a list of authors, but then you have to be willing to learn how to use a spreadsheet program.
