I use the Copy Link tools in the Book Details panel to get the link (in hex)…
Link to show book in calibre, or
Link to show books matching <Author Name> in calibre. Then I switch to the Books or Authors library (this is where the Switch to previous library shortcut comes into play) and paste the link just copied into the Manage <Author Name> Link field.
If you add a lot of 'new' authors, then you might want to consider automating the above via a plugin, or an Action Chain what's-it. I don't add new authors that often, so I have no need for automation.
My 'biggest' task wasn't the inter-library links, it was 'moving' the data out of the MHT files I exported from Evernote into the columns of 1,440 'books' in my Authors library. I used the MHT files to create the 'books' in the Authors library.
