Possible new feature for book details

I am considering adding the ability to display the output of templates in the comments section of book details. The output can go at the top or at the bottom.

Rationale: there are times when one wants to display something more complicated without creating a composite column for it. The template could generate arbitrary html, combine columns together, or both. Examples: tables of links to other books, text from multiple columns combined into a single display, books in a series sorted by %read, and so on.

The rationale is similar to why I added template searches -- permitting complex searches without requiring making a dedicated column.

The question: is this something people would use? No reason to build and maintain it if not.
