I realized after writing my post that you are talking about composite columns. That is why I added the qualifier about "Contains names" appearing only on is_multiple text columns.

Random thought: I haven't taken the time to understand exactly what you are trying to do, but it seems that you are trying to populate a column with the list of alternate names for the authors. Why not do this with action chains, where the chain modifies a "standard" is_multiple composite that has "Contains names" checked? The chain would trigger when a book is modified, updating the target column.
