could you let me know if this or similar is being worked on

cheers
In Windows I achieve it by pasting a link to an Evernote note into the Author Link field in Manage Authors.

Details can be found here ==>> Calibre and Evernote . No plugins are needed for calibre or Evernote, nor any calibre custom columns - i.e. all it needs is vanilla Calibre + vanilla Evernote. For me the advantages are:
  • You can put just about anything into an Evernote note. For instance, I insert links to calibre-server author pages (via Chrome browser shortcuts) into my Evernote author notes.
  • If one has the same Author in two (or more) physical libraries, the same Evernote link can be pasted into that authors Link field in both libraries. And the author note can have links to the author's books in both physical libraries.
  • To encourage me to be consistent, I've created pro-forma templates for Authors and Books in Evernote, which is very easy to do and use.
  • You can probably use anything that publishes URI links to individual notes/records/whatever, One Note is another possibility.
  • And thanks to chaley, the Evernote links are accessible from the Android version of Calibre Companion.
It should work with the OS/X versions of calibre and Evernote, but I am not aware of anyone doing it.
