Is it possible to add a column that refers to a directory? I would like to add a column that has the click to open functionality like the Path metadata when displayed in Book Details. I know I could just store the path in a text column but needing to copy and paste the path into the file manager is inconvenient.

The reason I want to store a path is so that for some books I can store the location where I store additional materials related to the book such as my own notes, downloaded source code for the examples, code for my solutions to problems in the book. It would be most convenient if I could store the path to the location I store the additional materials, and be able to click the path in Calibre to open the directory.
