Thank you for your advice.
I think the identifiers won't work also,
Using the long text is working, but there is a lot of steps to do, I'm afraid I will just stop using it after a while.
I'm also going to be using it with evernote for writing notes about the book.
I think a custom column that is interpreted as a link will solve this.
Thank you, I will make a feature request for that.

What do you call a lot of steps?
You can open a Long Text cell edit box by pressing F2 in the book list, and you can add a link to a web page by dragging its 'handle' into the edit box **. If you want to give it a label (it defaults to the url) go into the HTML tab and edit the <a ref= text. Or you can copy the url and use the link tool. Click OK (or press Alt+K) to close the edit box.
An Evernote note is even easier, select Copy External link from the Note drop down. Then open the Long Text cell with F2 and press Ctrl V. In this instance the Note name will be in the <a ref text- and it'll be green so you know its an Evernote link.
It helps if you have a gadget to make windows stay on top - to be honest I don't know how people can use a desktop GUI without one. Oh, and it helps if you stay away from the single Metadata Edit dialogue - I very rarely use it.
I just discovered that drag-n-droppable page handles are peculiar to Firefox - Chrome and Edge don't seem to have them Ψ³ Sometimes I wonder if we're regressing to Mosaic.
