The "Entities Manager" plugin at
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=313935 allows you to add as many different links, different notes, and relationships with other "Entities" as regards a single "Entity" that you wish.
"Author" is an "Entity Type", and if you wish, a selected Author could be an "Entity" within EM.
Read the Original Post and view the attached examples for more details.
- 'Entities Manager' allows Links and Notes to be created for any 'Entity', and to 'Associate' those Entities with other Entities without reference to any book.
- An 'Entity' is the name of a Calibre Standard or Custom Column plus a value of that Column. The name is its 'Entity Type'.
- Standard Columns: Authors, Series, Publisher, Tags and Title are valid 'Entity Types'.
- Custom Columns: All are valid as 'Entity Types' as long as they are textual and not composite/built-from-others.
- 'User Defined' Entity Types may be created, the values for which are manually assigned.
- Associations themselves may be created as a valid Entity, inheriting all of the functionality normally available to all Entities.
- Any existing value in any valid Entity Type may be used to create a new Entity.
- An Entity may be attached to/linked with/associated with any other Entity or Entities.
- Entity 'Column Icon Rules' may be automatically created, maintained, and removed.
- Entity 'Column Color Rules' may be automatically created, maintained, and removed.
