Yes, your use for calibre does make something like this sensible.

Rather than Generic Identifiers, how about Custom Sources.
Maybe "Custom Identifiers"?

My only complaint is that I have to enter the specific identifiers from the metadata edit screen, which I don't normally use. Ideally I'd like an F2 popup on the booklist like those for custom long text and tags - perhaps limited to Custom Sources.
I've never noticed before but there is no column for identifiers. Or, at least I can't see it. That makes and F2 edit hard. But, there is a dialog to edit the identifiers from the metadata editor. There isn't a shortcut to open that directly, but maybe it can be added.
