Is there anywhere in Calibre to enter this so it's automatically picked up and added, instead of me having to copy/paste each time?

Two ideas:
- You could do this with a custom column "built from other columns", with "Show as HTML in book details" checked. The calibre language template would compute the HTML for what you want to see, using other metadata.
- You create a custom comments column with an empty "template". You then manually add the data to the column instance when you add a new book.
Personally, I would do the former. That way the result is always up-to-date even if metadata changes.
