Actually it is.
Calibre is a Relational database underneath. There is an Authors Table entry for each name used IN THE LIBRARY. Calibre uses this 1>many (books) Which is why, when yo manage Authors in the Tag Browser, it affects all uses.
What you SEE is a 'flat file' view.
select a book with 2 + Authors in the normal Author Column
: Tap 'I' (Info pane shows) You can click on either author (note they are in blue), that takes you to a Wiki page (default)
Preferences: Look &Feel: Book details (side bar) allows you to change the action for when you click on Author.
FWIW there is an extra field in the Authors table, it is not easy to get at without writing code. That is really where per Author details should be linked. (enter once, available anyplace the author is used. the beauty of an RDB)
