IF you run Linux, and if you run Calibre from source a lot, and if your desktop environment uses the XDG specifications, then you can also likely create a .desktop file wrapping up the full path to Calibre in its source tree, and the invocation options i.e. --detach.
This link has instructions on creating your own .desktop file, but steps 1–5 are about downloading a game to use as an example, so you can skip them entirely as you presumably already know that Calibre runs properly.
