It's probably as good as you're going to get. AFAIK adding custom columns to the Author's table is a pretty big ask - if it were otherwise it would have been done by now. And if it were to be done, one would probably want to do it for the other entities - Series, Publisher, Tags etc.

I know I have wished for this. I have dabbled (ParadoxDOS) with relational datasets. and the individual tables are the more proper place for 1 to 1 relations.
But I understand that the Magic of custom columns (and incorporating those into the Flatfile view) is sheer genius, allowing the base Calibre code to remain universal.
