Follow up question...

We have a book metadata page.
Have you ever considered an Author metadata page?
It would be nice to add notes specific to authors.
FWIW: I have an Authors and a Books library, they are linked via calibre:// URLs in the the Author Link fields - sample libraries attached. The calibre :// URLs are obtained via right click on Author names in Book Details. See ==>> The calibre:// URL scheme

From the Books library, copy "Link to show books matching <author name> in calibre" and paste into the Author Link fields in the Author library. From the Authors library, copy "Link to show book in calibre" and paste into the Author Link fields in the Books library. This is only done once for each Author -- NOT for each book.
