I'm copying author links into fanfic authors:
1. Open Author Manager, filter to VL
2. Right-click the first author without a link to 'Show books by author'
3. Press "OK" to close window.
4. Open an ePub by the author and copy the author link from the titlepage.
5. Re-open the Author Manager, re-apply VL filter, and add the link.
Being able to click on the ePub link in details without first closing the window would save a lot of clicks...

Non-modal dialogs create various problems, the most common being that they get lost behind other windows. People then report bugs saying that the window went away. There are also problems with keeping data consistent. When do edits take effect? What happens to the rest of calibre when a non-modal edit window is closed with OK?
Why are you opening the ePub to get the link? It is available from book details by right-clicking on the format.
