What does the qualifier (translator etc) have to do with it? Are you suggesting something less specific than "details"?

Or suggesting that some parsing happen on the author text to offer a series of icons for the other roles?
Nothing that complicated. IMO this:

Fred Bloggs (Trans) , Bill Brown (Illus) .

looks better and the clickable elements are better distinguished than this:

Fred Bloggs (Trans) (detail), Bill Brown (Illus) (detail).

Not sure what a rich text document would be in this context, presumably something other an .rtf file referenced by a file:/// link.

I would be happy with a single icon for all Links irrespective of the protocol, who knows when I might stumble on a WAIS server.

Note: I had a globe icon - but the board ate them, so the light bulb is illustrative.
