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.

The original solution quoted by @wiggo predates Action Chains. The alternative you are suggesting is the one I would go with right now. I am not sure how familiar or proficient @wiggo is with Action Chains, though.
