Is there a way to do this?

If you right click an Author name in Book Details or Tag Browser and select Manage <Author name> you'll get a list like this:
That's my Test Library, as you can see I have links to Evernote and Onenote pages, a text file, and a mailto address.
In my 'real libraries', when I want to keep supplemental data for an Author I create a page in an Evernote Authors notebook (using a pro-forma template) and paste the page link into the Link field, when I click the Author name in Book Details the Evernote page opens up.
You could create web server pages for authors and paste 'html:blah-blah' URLs into the Link field, they would open in your browser when you clicked an Author name in Book Details.
An "Open Author link" tool with a keyboard shortcut would be handy. IIRC CalibreSpy has one.
