If you put a URI in the Link field, when you click on that Author the handler for the URI's protocol will open. So, an http link will open in your browser, a file link will open in your file manager, an ftp link will open your ftp client, an evernote link will open in Evernote, etc, etc.

Not that I know of, other than the tool tips. I would have though most are self-explanatory, the standard columns (Author, Tags, Series, Publication Date, etc) are examples for some types. See this thread, Plugboard, template, and custom composite column recipes, for examples of "Composite columns" (columns built from other columns).

Might be better to ask about that in the plugin thread.

the template tester run perfectly, but when save to disk
the filename doesnt show up like in template tester.
before this works well. is there any changes?
(see debug.txt)
I've no idea because I don't use plugboards, hopefully someone who does can give some feedback.
