This has been asked several times (add custom columns to authors) and Kovid has said he is not interested in doing it, but he would consider patches, so far no one has come up with the patches.

To me at least, it looks like it would be a major change, as it would require significant enhancements to the database design (on-disk and in-memory versions). The on-disk database design has been stable for many years, and the in-memory database design was last changed in Version 1.0.

==================

So, you have something like this - Dickens is the author, Gutenberg is the site where you can get his books as epubs



What I have suggested is that you do something like this:

Create an Authors Notebook in Evernote and add an entry for Dickens, that includes the link to the Gutenberg site, along with anything else, something like this :



That shows I have right clicked on the Charles Dickens note in the Notebook Index and selected Copy Note Link

Now I go to the Manage Authors List in Calibre and replace the Gutenberg link in the Author link field with the link to the Evernote Note.



Now when I click on Charles Dickens in Book Details the Evernote note will popup - and from there I can go to Gutenberg, etc .

Obviously that would not allow you to search a calibre library for books written by "Nigerians" tagged as "Political". But it would provide you with the means to get a list of Nigerian Authors (via Evernote tags), which could be fashioned into a calibre search term e.g.

(authors:"=Jude Dibia" or authors:"=Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani" or authors:"=Helon Habila"...) and tags:"=Political"
