The calibre book editor is implemented as 'stand alone' program so it can be used without using the GUI library manager (although it must be installed). On Windows its at C:\Program Files(or Program Files (X86) for 32bit version)\Calibre2\ebook-edit.exe - not sure where it lives on Linux or Mac. There's also a 'portable' version of calibre for Windows.
There is no shortcut for Mac AFAIK, a limitation of the .app bundle format. At least, you can't have app drawer icons, and you'd have to manually make symlinks and/or GUI launchers.
But on linux it is available symlinked as `/usr/bin/ebook-edit` (in PATH).

Pity the calibre editor and viewer aren't published as a separate package

No point -- they share a common intertwined codebase. Separate packages would have to include most of the same code anyway, and even that is after some brave soul refactored it to separate them all. There are no significant gains over reimplementing fom scratch.
