My today's question is: Is there any way to visually mark in Book viewer any Author field that has an EN link? For instance marking it with a star or changing its color.

Any idea thankfully welcome in advance.
A book's Author Link values can be obtained via the author_links template function (see Get values from metadata). You could use that in a Column Colour or Column Icon rule to set a colour or icon if an EN link exists. **

However, you wrote "visually mark in Book viewer". If that is what you really mean, then you might be able to use the author_links function to create a custom composite column that could be injected into a book jacket - although I'm not entirely sure that such columns can injected into a jacket.

Added : ** if you devise such a rule perhaps you could post it
